Default Find the top 10 from multiple groups.

I have spreadsheet similar to this:

Week 1 Week 2
Name Singles Handicap Singles Handicap %
Grp 1
Dave 23 23 17 18 81.0%
Jim 25 25 21 22 93.0%
Brad 14 12 18 18 62.0%
Moritz 20 13 22 21 76.0%
Bob 25 24 22 19 90.0%



Grp 2
Gary 16 19 23 23 81.0%
Tony 17 19 25 24 85.0%
Gary 19 19 14 12 64.0%
Frank 23 20 20 13 76.0%
Mike 22 19 25 24 90.0%

I need to know which 5 people have the top percentage. This is scaled down
version of the spreadsheet. There are a lot more groups and I need to keep
the space between the groups for other data. There are also more weeks (10).

I've tried lists but it won't let me use multiple selections.

for Sort and Top 10

Hi,
Sorry, I guess the spacing all disappeared when I posted it. Not exactly
straight, but it might be easier to under stand...

Week 1 Week 2
Name Singles Handicap Singles Handicap %

Group 1
Dave 23 23 17 18 81.0%
Jim 25 25 21 22 93.0%
Brad 14 12 18 18 62.0%
Moritz 20 13 22 21 76.0%
Bob 25 24 22 19 90.0%

Group 2
Gary 16 19 23 23 81.0%
Tony 17 19 25 24 85.0%
Gary 19 19 14 12 64.0%
Frank 23 20 20 13 76.0%
Mike 22 19 25 24 90.0%

In the meantime I'll look into Pivots.

Default Find the top 10 from multiple groups.

If you want top 5 total with ties (Not top 5 by group), highlight all columns
and place a Filter on. (Data FilterAutofilter). Select (Top 10...) on the
% column and select top 5 percent. This can return more than 5 rows if you
have multiple people with the same %.

Another option is to use a column to right, using =RANK(), if you'd like to
break out by group. Something like =RANK(F2,$F$2:$F$20) and drag down thr
group. Then, you can view only those with ranks up to 5 using a filter.

I can't just select the whole column. There is actually data in between the
groups that would skew the results. So, I need to select the % in the first
group then press control and select the second group and so on. When I try
to use a Filter it says can't filter data from multiple groups. When I try
and use Rank, it says too many arguements.
