Display the Highest, Second Highest, Third Highest and so on...
Hi
Can someone help me to find out and place the highest, second highest, third highest and so on in group of numbers in a sheet? For example: QUESTION: A B C D E F 1004 1004 1004 1518 1517 797 1332 1320 1500 1337 1337 1004 1337 1337 1000 1940 560 1560 I need to find out which is highest, second highest and third highest from A,B & C and the D, E & F columns should display Highest, Second Highest, Third Highest accordingly. Where the numbers are equal, i need a display Equal(AB) or Equal(BC) or Equal (ABC) as the case depends. I might be overthinking on this, but I am just not getting the right formula. If someone could please help on this... please GKB |

Use the LARGE() function.

Hi,
Thank you. I did try this formula... and got the desired result. But I am not able to paste this formual in all cells. There is some "array" formula working here... =LARGE($A$1:$C$1,1) Hope you will get me a solution to this also.

Hi Gary,
On its own, the LARGE() function returns the nth largest value (where n is the second argument in the function), not the column reference. Assuming you want the column references in all cases and A1 is your top-left data row: In Cell D1, use: =IF(LARGE($A1:$C1,1)=LARGE($A1:$C1,3),"Equal (ABC)",IF(LARGE($A1:$C1,1)=LARGE($A1:$C1,2),"Equal ("&CHAR(64+MATCH(LARGE($A1:$C1,1),$A1:$C1,0))&CHAR (64+MATCH(LARGE($A1:$C1,1) ,$A1:$C1,1))&")",CHAR(64+MATCH(LARGE($A1:$C1,1),$A 1:$C1,0)))) In Cell E1, use: =IF(LARGE($A1:$C1,1)=LARGE($A1:$C1,3),"Equal (ABC)",IF(LARGE($A1:$C1,1)=LARGE($A1:$C1,2),"Equal ("&CHAR(64+MATCH(LARGE($A1:$C1,1),$A1:$C1,0))&CHAR (64+MATCH(LARGE($A1:$C1,1) ,$A1:$C1,1))&")",IF(LARGE($A1:$C1,2)=LARGE($A1:$C1 ,3),"Equal ("&CHAR(64+MATCH(LARGE($A1:$C1,2),$A1:$C1,0))&CHAR (64+MATCH(LARGE($A1:$C1,3) ,$A1:$C1,1))&")",CHAR(64+MATCH(LARGE($A1:$C1,2),$A 1:$C1,0))))) In Cell F1, use: =IF(LARGE($A1:$C1,1)=LARGE($A1:$C1,3),"Equal (ABC)",IF(LARGE($A1:$C1,2)=LARGE($A1:$C1,3),"Equal ("&CHAR(64+MATCH(LARGE($A1:$C1,2),$A1:$C1,0))&CHAR (64+MATCH(LARGE($A1:$C1,3) ,$A1:$C1,1))&")",CHAR(64+MATCH(LARGE($A1:$C1,3),$A 1:$C1,0)))) Copy down as far as needed.

I pasted
=LARGE($A1:$C1,1) in D1 =LARGE($A1:$C1,2) in E1 =LARGE($A1:$C1,3) in F1 I Selected D1 through F1 and filled down for 6 rows. It did what I think you want except for the equals thing. I think that can be handled with an if statement.
