VLOOKUP DUPLICATE VALUES
 

I am looking for a way to look up duplicate values in a table array. When I
use VLOOKUP it continues to give me the same value (see D3 and D4).This is
the formula I used in
D1:D40...=VLOOKUP(LARGE($A$1:$A$40,1),$A$1:$B$40,2 ,FALSE)
with the LARGE 'K' value incrementing. I would have liked D4 to come up with
FG04.

A B Formulas in C Column C D
1 32 FG01 =LARGE($A$1:$A$40,1) 41 FG03
2 22 FG02 =LARGE($A$1:$A$40,2) 32 FG01
3 41 FG03 =LARGE($A$1:$A$40,3) 22 FG02
4 22 FG04 =LARGE($A$1:$A$40,4) 22 FG02
5 12 FG05 =LARGE($A$1:$A$40,5) 12 FG05

VLOOKUP DUPLICATE VALUES
 

Source data as posted in cols A & B, from row1 down
In C1: =IF(A1="","",A1-ROW()/10^10)
In D1: =LARGE(C:C,ROWS($1:1))
In E1: =INDEX(B:B,MATCH(LARGE(C:C,ROWS($1:1)),C:C,0))
Copy C1:E1 down to E5. Minimize col C. Cols D & E returns the required
auto-descending sort of cols A & B, by the values in col A, with ties
accounted for.

Corrections, it should have read:
In C1: =IF(A1="","",A1-ROW()/10^10)
In D1: =INDEX(A:A,MATCH(LARGE($C:$C,ROWS($1:1)),$C:$C,0))
Copy D1 to E1. Select C1:E1, copy down to E5. Minimize col C. Cols D & E
returns the required auto-descending sort of cols A & B, by the values in col
A, with ties accounted for.

Try this:

In C1: =RANK(A1,$A$1:$A$5)+COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1)-1
copy down

In D1: =INDEX($B$1:$B$5,MATCH(ROW(A1),$C$1:$C$5,0))
copy down
