Using one of the two formulas below to display the name (in column B) of the
highest scorer (from column C) in another cell (B*)
is it possible to modify either to display the highest four placings?
How would I allow for a tied score.

=OFFSET(C1,MATCH(MAX(C1:C10),$C$1:$C$10,0)-1,-1,1,1)
or
=INDEX(B:B,MATCH(MAX(C:C),C:C,0))

Cell isn't in column B, it's currently E5.

=OFFSET($C$1,MATCH(LARGE($C$1:$C$10,1),$C$1:$C$10, 0)-1,-1,1,1)
or
=INDEX($B:$B,MATCH(LARGE($C:$C,1),$C:$C,0))
Copy down for how many places you wish to display and change second large
argument to desired place.
LARGE($C:$C,2) for second
LARGE($C:$C,3) for third, etc.
These formulas will repeat the first name found for all repeat scores, so
will need to make manual changes in case of a tie.

Nah, it's not perfect, if it were perfect, it would handle ties... :-(
Do you have some data that could be a tie breaker? An overall rank score or
something like that?
If not, you could use this to add a rank column:
=RANK(C1,$C$1:$C$10,1)+COUNTIF($C$1:C1,C1)-1
Copy into D1 and fill down, but it rather arbitrarily gives the better rank
to the first one it comes across.
But then:
=INDEX($B:$B,MATCH(LARGE($D:$D,1),$D:$D,0))
would never give you any duplicates.

boney m? giving your age away? i guess that's as close a match as toobi-won
:-)
may the force not be against you!

B,

We can live with the tie issue (haven't had one yet anyway)
But will try your suggestion on Monday.
Giving my age away? I had the white suit, black shirt and medallions etc. I
looked like a negative!
The force is always against me, I'm married! (Roobi-won)
