Nested IF's with Rank Problem
 

Hey I have a list of people with a rank from 1 to 24, and I am trying to
make cells labeled "first", "second", and "third", what I need is a
formula that can figure out who has rank number 1, 2 and 3 and list
there name in the given cell.

So long story short I need the person who is in first listed in the
"first" cell and so on!

Thank you for looking at my problem

Nested IF's with Rank Problem
 

Hi!

Are you using a RANK formula? Are there any ties?

Assume names are in A1:A24
"Rank" is in B1:B24

C1:C3 = First;Second;Third

D1 = formula:

=INDEX(A$1:A$24,MATCH(SMALL(B$1:B$24,ROWS($1:1)),B $1:B$24,0))

Copy down to D3.

Nested IF's with Rank Problem
 

Well you see the thing is, is that I have names right? and then a number
next to them

Zack 5
Bob 3
Jack 4
Moe 1


There is some information between the rank and the name though so thats
why I didn't have it sort the names, I didn't know how to make the whole
row follow the rank, if that makes any sense

Thank for the help
