index?lookup?match?if?
 

I am making a spreadsheet to record compeditive times in an autocross.
Colums a,b,and c, contain respectively driver number, driver name and
car number. More than one driver can drive the same car. Colums
d,e,f,and g contain additional data. column H contains imput of each
driver's time.
I have used SMALL(h2:h39,1) and SMALL(h2:h39,2) etc. to determine the
fastest times in order. This gives me the fastest times in order, Then
below that, use MATCH( cell where "small" is,a2:b39,0etc) to match
driver number and name to fastest time. I have the problem of a tie in
time. Small picks the tieing times and records them but "small" and
"match" only go back to the first driver number/name. I want the
second member of the tie to show up in second location. I'm trying to
avoid a macro for simplicity sake. Please help. Thanks

Assuming that A2:H39 contains the data, try the following...

I2, copied down:

=RANK(H2,$H$2:$H$39,1)+COUNTIF($H$2:H2,H2)-1

J1:

=MAX(I2:I39)

K2, copied down and to Column L:

=IF(ROWS(K$2:K2)<=$J$1,INDEX(A$2:A$39,MATCH(ROWS(K $2:K2),$I$2:$I$39,0)),"
")

M2, copied down:

=IF(ROWS(M$2:M2)<=$J$1,INDEX(H$2:H$39,MATCH(ROWS(M $2:M2),$I$2:$I$39,0)),"
")

Hope this helps!

Thanks, Domenic.
Looks like your solution will work great for me. Now I've got some
expanding and cleaning to do.
