Help with VLOOKUP or other matching function
Hey gang,
I need help with the following problem. I have a worksheet that lists names in colA, averages in colB, and scores in colC. I'd like to be able to show the high scores in a different section on the worksheet. I can use MAX function to locate the largest number (score, avg) but how do I get the name associated with it? Also, how can I show the 2nd and 3rd largest scores or averages? Will I have to use a different function than MAX (such as LARGE)?? Thanks again for all the help! Matt |

=LARGE(B2:B100,1)
first largest =LARGE(B2:B100,2) second largest To get the name associate with it =INDEX(A2:A100,MATCH(LARGE(B2:B100,1),B2:B100,0)) Adjust your range to suit your needs "mpenkala" wrote: Hey gang, I need help with the following problem.

Help with VLOOKUP or other matching function
Hi there,
I can't seem to get the formula to work. This is what I have: =INDEX(Sheet2!A2:A28,MATCH(LARGE(Sheet2!B2:B28,1)B 2:B28,0)) Excel keeps trying to put a * before the 2nd B2 near the end. If this helps: A2:A28 are a list of names B2:B28 is a list of scores In cell A42 I have the high score. I would like cell A41 to give me the name associated with that score. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

Excel keeps trying to put a * before the 2nd B2 near the end. You're missing a comma and the sheet name: =INDEX(Sheet2!A2:A28,MATCH(LARGE(Sheet2!B2:B28,1), Sheet2!B2:B28,0)) If there are duplicates this won't work properly! Biff "mpenkala" wrote in message ...
