Default Using LARGE function in incontiguous cells

Hi

You can use a named range for each category and the use the name as
reference in your formula.

Select alle catetory1 cells and goto InsertNames Define Enter: Cat1 as
name.

=Large(Cat1,1)

Hopes this helps.

Hi.
I'm wondering a way to highlight the highest score in incontiguous cells.
For instance, in the example below, each person has a score in three
categories and I would like to highlight the top score in each category.

I'd looked at LARGE function but it seems to only take continuous cells as
an array.

John 1 67
2 74
3 159

Richard 1 76
2 85
3 190

David 1 56
2 62
3 129

Sue 1 69
2 77
3 163


Any way to get around this? I'd also like to highlight 2nd and 3rd scores
in each category but that's probably easy once I know how to do the
highest,
I suppose?

Thank you.
