Ok, without using ROW or ROWS...

Assume:

A2:A16 = named range = Sales
B2:B16 = named range = Names
C2:C16 = named range = Ranks

Enter this formula in C2 and copy down to C16:

=RANK(A2,sales)+COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)-1

In E2:E11 enter the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

Enter this formula in F2 and copy down to F11:

=LARGE(sales,E2)

Enter this formula in G2 and copy down to G11:

=INDEX(names,MATCH(SMALL(ranks,E2),ranks,0))

Why do you want to do that?

Basically, the answer would be no but if you explain why there might be
some
other formula that might do what you want.

No, it doesn't have to be in ascending order. I just demonstrated
it

that thinking it would be easier to follow.

See this screencap:

This uses the exact same formula with the data in random order.

The formula used is an array formula. Array formulas need to be
entered
using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).
