Hi guys,

Ok here is my issue: I have a workbook containing 2 sheets. One sheet
contains a list of ETFs with livefeed data from Bloomberg about two
different volume measures.I then use this data to do a simple
calculation for the performance of each ETF.

The issue is the fact that in the other sheet I want a table with the
top 5 performers and the worst 5 performers.

What I did in order to receive the names of the ETFs, provider,
performance etc, I used the VLOOKUP function. The performance is the
column on the far left.

=VLOOKUP(LARGE(data!$C$4:$C$41,1),data!$C$4:$L$41, 7,TRUE)

data is the sheet with the names, volumes and performance

The above function for me means that it should look for the 1st
largest number within the performance column(C column) and once it
finds it in finds the corresponding data in the same row but in column
7 which is where the ETF name is.The TRUE is used to make sure its a
match value.

For some reason it is not working and I just dont understand why.

I just want to isolate the top 5 performers by performance and have
all the corresponding ETF data in a table.

Is this wrong?

Thanks

Change TRUE to FALSE if your data is not sorted.
And make sure the data you want to get is i column I.
Column I is the 7'th column if you start with column C.

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke
