Default formual, match G19 from G2:g17 return corresponding A2:A17

A2:A17 is a list of names on a team
G19 is a "=LARGE(G2:G17,1)" formula and then second and third highest
What I would like to do is get the corresponding name to match up with the
large 1 number
I've tried many, closets is =lookup(G19,G2:G17,A2:A17)
All this does is give me the name in A17
help please

The Lookup as you have used it there gives the correct answer for the
largest number found in G2:G17!, i don't understand what it is you are
trying to achieve?

=index(a2:a17,match(large(g2:g17,1),g2:g17,0))

max(g2:g17)
instead of:
large(g2:g17,1)
would work for the largest match, too.

Follow problem
I am using the large 1,2,3 for first, second and third place
In one of these equations I have a duplicate number "622"
Which is a tie between first and second
It's using the same person for first and second
How to I get it to pick up the other name associated to 622?

thanks ~ you guys are awesome on this site!

0 (or False) means that it has to be an exact match.

Assume you want the results to appear starting in cell J2.

Enter this array formula** in J2 and copy down to J17:

=INDEX(A$2:A$17,MATCH(LARGE(G$2:G$17-ROW(G$2:G$17)/10^10,ROWS(J$2:J2)),G$2:G$17-ROW(G$2:G$17)/10^10,0))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT
key then hit ENTER.
