Top 10 in descending order
I need what is probably a simple formula.
I know filtering will do it, but this is from an unattended workbook, so a formula would be best. A1:A40 = range named "clients" B1:B40 = range called "selection" C1:C10 = result. A1:A40 is client list B1:B40 is quantity ordered C1:C10 is required in order of largest to smallest, top ten, names only, not amounts TYIA Esra |

A1:A40 is client list
B1:B40 is quantity ordered In C1: =IF(B1="","",B1-ROW()/10^10) In D1: =INDEX(A:A,MATCH(LARGE(C:C,ROW()),C:C,0)) Select C1:D1, copy down to D40. Hide away col C. Col D returns an auto-sort of clients in descending order by qty ordered. Any clients with ties (ie same qty ordered) will be listed in the same relative order that they appear within A1:A40. Just read-off the top xx as needed. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Esradekan" wrote in message ps.com... I need what is probably a simple formula.

Hi Esra,
What doesn't work? And what are you doing that is different to Max's solution? It works perfectly in my trials and is also a very clever way to address the problem.

But I'm mindful that as a responder, being human, there could be occasions where typos/errors might have crept in the response given which somehow escaped detection -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
