Here's a pure non-array formulas play which will achieve your multiple
objectives, viz: extract unique names, total up scores per name then auto-sort in descending order with tiebreaks (to cater for possibility of tied totals) Assume your source data is in sheet: x, in A2:B2 down In another sheet, place in A2: =IF(x!A2="","",IF(COUNTIF(x!A$2:A2,x!A2)1,"",ROW( ))) B2: =INDEX(x!A:A,SMALL(A:A,ROWS($1:1))) C2: =SUMIF(x!A:A,B2,x!B:B) D2: =IF(ISERROR(B2),"",C2-ROW()/10^10) E2: =IF(ROWS($1:1)COUNT($D:$D),"",INDEX(B:B,MATCH(LAR GE($D:$D,ROWS($1:1)),$D:$D,0))) Copy E2 to F2. Select A2:F2, copy down to cover the max expected extent of source data in x, eg down to F100. Minimize/hide away cols A to D. Cols E & F will return the required results, ie a uniques listing of the names-total scores, sorted in descending order by the scores. Names with tied scores, if any, will be listed in the same relative order that they appear within the source data. Read off the top xx as desired. -- Max Singapore --- "puiuluipui" wrote: Hi, the problem is that i need this top values in another sheet. that's why i need the formulas. and the sheet with the database is connected to a database and i cannot modify it. So i need a formula to make the sum by names and than to display in another sheet, the top name and sum. In the cell below i need the second top value and name....and so on.... |
