How do I find top 3 in an unsorted list?
I have a list of data that is unsorted (and I cannot sort the data for
special reasons), but I want to find the 3 largest in a column...so its like using the MAX function, but I need MAX 1, MAX 2nd, MAX 3rd. Here is an example: A B Company 1 $200,000 Company 2 $100,000 Company 3 $500,000 Company 4 $550,000 Company 5 $212,000 I would like to pull in order the 3 largest $550,000 $500,000 $212,000 Ideally I would like to pull the corresponding company also. Please help me out. Thanks! |

You can also use autofilter, from dropdown select top 10 and then change it
to top 3, that way you will get a filtered list according to your needs and the companies will be filtered accordingly -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "RLind" wrote in message ...
