A non-array approach. On your main sheet, add a column D called "Key". In D2
and then copied down, enter this formula:

=C2&"-"&COUNTIF($C$2:C2,C2)+1

You'll see a unique sequential set of numbers appear. All the people with
2.5 will show 2.5-2, 2.5-3, 2.5-4, etc. We skip 2.5-1 because we're going to
start at row2 on the other sheets.

On your sheet for 2.5 ranks, put First and Last labels in A1 an B1. Then, in
A2, put this formula and copy down, and to the right:

=INDEX(Players!A:A,MATCH("1-"&ROW(),Players!$D:$D,0))

That will cause the first match of 2.5-2 to bring over the names, the next
row will match on 2.5-3 and bring them over.

The formula will give an error after it runs out of matches, so you could
test for the match first, like so:

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH("1-"&ROW(),Players!$D:$D,0)),
INDEX(Players!A:A,MATCH("1-"&ROW(),Players!$D:$D,0)),"")

Hope that helps.

I have a work sheet containing a list of players and their rankings. I need
to have multiple other sheets unique to each ranking. Therefore, in the
sheet called 2.5, I want to pull the first and last names of all players
having a 2.5 ranking (but no others). In the master list I have column A =
lastname, B = firstname, C = ranking.
The column will be the same in the 2.5 Ranking sheet, the 3.0 Ranking sheet
etc.

Any help will be great! Thanks
