Large function

[Guest]

Hi Group
I am trying to find the top 10 values in a range. If a value is repeated
then it may show up say as the largest and next largest. How do I ignore
repeated values.

20
20
19
19
2
12
15
5
6
19

large(A1,A10,1)=20
large(A1,A10,2)=20
large(A1,A10,3)=19
large(A1,A10,4)=19
large(A1,A10,5)=19
etc
I would like to return
largest = 20
next largest =19
next largest =15
etc.

Thanks!

try something like this copied down fro the 2nd and 3rd, etc

=LARGE(myrng,SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(myrng,$a$1:a2))+1)

 

[Don Guillett]

or use max in f1 and this in f2. Array formula
=MAX(IF(myrng<F1,myrng))

Another way would be to create a pivot table. Create a pivot field with your
data and make it an AVERAGE pivot field. Then go to the advanced field
settings screen of the field and choose Automatic Top / Bottom X for your
field. Ensure that the Using field field has your average pivot field name
in it.

Hope this offers an alternative.

In that my data spans numerous columns this looks to be the best solution. My
Range is Rows 9129:9492
my formula: In D9494 Copied down
LARGE($D$9129:$D$9492,SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF($D$9129:$D$9492,$D$91299130))+1)

Im still getting some duplication of values
Thank you!
