Automatic Pareto data with Formula
 

I want to create a data table for use to create an Automatically updated
Pareto Chart, for this I need that the values automatically be sorted in
descending order, so I have the following example scenario:

Column A has Labels and Column B has Values
A -1
B -2
C - 3
D - 2
E -1

If I use the following formula:
=INDEX($A$1:$A$5,MATCH(LARGE($B$1:$B$5,2),$B$1:$B$ 5,0))
I get B, but there are two 2 and if I use the 3rd largest:
=INDEX($A$1:$A$5,MATCH(LARGE($B$1:$B$5,3),$B$1:$B$ 5,0))
I also Get B instead of the required D.

How can I get it so the end results looks like this:
C
B
D
A
E

Thank You.

Automatic Pareto data with Formula
 

Use a helper column to find the Nominal Rank of the scores, then use this for
the INDEX.

C2: =RANK($B2,$B$2:$B$6)+COUNTIF($B$2:B2,B2)-1
D2: =INDEX($A$2:$A$6,MATCH(ROWS($1:1),$C$2:$C$6,0))
