Please Help-sorting Data
Hi, Ive got a sorting problem.... the user enters data in a sheet (say 8 rows of data) . I have to choos the top 3 from that data . for example: *col a col b col c * a emp1 41,454 b emp2 256,456 c emp3 116,755 d emp4 (257,000) e emp5 946,001 f emp6 (244,545) g emp7 86,242 h emp8 710,200 From this data in "Col C ",I have to choose the top three(startin from the highest ) separating the negatives from the positives an display the data in the 3 columns. It would be enough if I am able to choose the top three positiv numbers. Nested ifs are proving to be too difficult to manage after 3 or numbers. please help........ thanx in advance, Arvind -- mnarvin ----------------------------------------------------------------------- mnarvind's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=1520 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=31429 |

Please Help-sorting Data
Data=sort, use column 3 as the sort key.
Otherwise, state why you are having problems. You can also look at the worksheet functions Large, Index, Match, Vlookup, Lookup, Rank as a start. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "mnarvind" wrote in message ...
