Finding the type with the highest overall value.
Hi
I am fairly sure this can be done but I don't know how. I have three columns of data in a sheet. Column A holds the names of individuals, Column B holds a number which represents that individual's score and column C holds a letter which shows the group (team) that the individual belongs to. Tom 2 A Ann 3 B Jim 1 A May 5 B I have a formula which shows the individual with the highest score. I just need a formula (maybe an array would do it, i'm not sure) that will show the group with the highest overall score. There are actually 13 teams and 130 people. Thanks in advance. |

In simplest form for data given.
