Separating equal values
Put this formula in C1:
=B1+COUNTIF(B$1:B1,B1)/100
and change the formula in D1 to this:
=INDEX(A$1:A$4,MATCH(LARGE(C$1:C$4,ROW(A1)),C$1:C$ 4,FALSE),1)
Then copy both these down to get this:
alpha 10 10.01 alpha 10
bravo 2 2.01 delta 8
charlie 8 8.01 charlie 8
delta 8 8.02 bravo 2
This is effectively giving you a tie-break so that up to 100 ties
could be distinguished, as long as your numbers in column B are
integers. If you want to see charlie appear before bravo in the sorted
list, then change the + in the first formula to a -.
Hope this helps.

Using the large function I can generate a list of high to low values. example:
In column E1 - E4
=LARGE(B1:B4,1)
=LARGE(B1:B4,2)
=LARGE(B1:B4,3)
=LARGE(B1:B4,4)
Next I have the names next to each value:
In column D1- D4
=INDEX(A1:A4,MATCH(LARGE(B1:B4,1),B1:B4,FALSE),1)
=INDEX(A1:A4,MATCH(LARGE(B1:B4,2),B1:B4,FALSE),1)
=INDEX(A1:A4,MATCH(LARGE(B1:B4,3),B1:B4,FALSE),1)
=INDEX(A1:A4,MATCH(LARGE(B1:B4,4),B1:B4,FALSE),1)
So if my chart was:
* A * * * * * * * *B
Alpha * * * * * 10
Bravo * * * * * *2
Charlie * * * * *6
Delta * * * * * * 8
The result would be:
* *D * * * * * * * *E
Alpha * * * * * *10
Delta * * * * * * *8
Charlie * * * * * 6
Bravo * * * * * * 2
Here's my problem. Lets go back to the original chart with new values.
*A * * * * * * * *B
Alpha * * * * * 10
Bravo * * * * * *2
Charlie * * * * *8
Delta * * * * * * 8
The result would now be:
* *D * * * * * * * *E
Alpha * * * * * *10
Charlie * * * * * 8
Charlie * * * * * 8
Bravo * * * * * * 2
Which omits Deltas score.
Is there a way I can tell the index command to, if theres a duplicate value,
ignore the previous result?
Obviously this is a much simpler version than the one I have at present which
contains in excess of 70 names and results.
