I changed the score of Gemma in the Senior division from 1.1 to 1.8 in
order to illustrate the value of the setup that follows...

G1:

=MAX(IF($D$2:$D$16=G3,$E$2:$E$16))

which is confirmed with control+shift+enter (not with enter) and copied
across to I1.

G2, copied across to I2:

=SUMPRODUCT(--($D$2:$D$16=G$3),--($E$2:$E$16=G$1))

G3:I3 houses:

Senior Junior Sub Junior

G4:

=IF(ROWS(G$4:G4)<=G$2,
INDEX($C$2:$C$16,
SMALL(IF($E$2:$E$16=G$1,
IF($D$2:$D$16=G$3,ROW($E$2:$E$16)-ROW($E$2)+1)),
ROWS(G$4:G4))),"")

which is confirmed with control+shift+enter (not with enter) then copied
across to I4 and down.

ok, say I have this worksheet

Gemma Senior 1.1

Giles Senior 1.1
Matthew Senior 0.2
Owen Senior 0.7
Kevin Senior 1.8
Alex Senior 0.0
Valentina Senior 1.3
Katie Junior 1.3
Ashlea Junior 0.2
Tara Senior 0.0
Tahlia Sub Junior 0.9
Tyler Sub Junior 1.0
Kylie Junior 1.6
Mark Senior 0.0

first column (C2:C16) is the name of people in my tennis club

second row (D2:D16) is their division

and third row (J2:J16) is their ongoing score

what would the formula be if I wanted to put the leading top scorer for
each division (senior, sub junior or senior) into three seperate cells?
