Ok so the large function works incredibly well for my purpose of getting the top 5 numbers of a given range however, I can't seem to get it to work across multiple worksheets please help :confused:.

=LARGE('WS #1'!$C$3:$C$32),1) -- This works for finding info from Worksheet 1 but I'd like to be able to do it from WS #1-4 :( -- They are all C3:C32 but I don't quite know what to do!!!

Thanks alot for reading this far and trying to help a fellow out!
(and sorry if I can't describe properly what I need help with ;))

Domenic sir... you are a secksy secksy man ;) so thank you :D!!

Now I'm wondering something:

  1. Is it possible to show up a corresponding cell depending on the outcome of LARGE?
e.g. In my 'WS #5' Cell B2 is where I would get my answer from your formula. If for example the answer to the formula came from -- WS #1, C3 -- could I show up -- WS #1, B3 in -- WS #5, B1?

WS #1, C3 = Number
WS #1, B3 = Name of person the above coressponds to

WS #5, B1 = Where I would like the name of the person the formula finds to go
WS #5, B2 = Where I would like the formula to go

Thank you so much already!

Try...

C2, confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER:

=MATCH(TRUE,COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&{"WS #1","WS #2","WS #3","WS #4"}&"'!$C$3:$C$33"),B2)>0,0)

D2, confirmed with just ENTER:

=INDEX(INDIRECT("'"&INDEX({"WS #1","WS #2","WS #3","WS #4"},C2)&"'!B3:B32"),MATCH(B2,INDIRECT("'"&INDEX({"WS #1","WS #2","WS #3","WS #4"},C2)&"'!C3:C32"),0))

Note that if there's more than one value tied for the largest value, the formula will return the first occurrence.

Hope this helps!
