Assigning Points to top three

[Travisallen2007]

Hello,

Thank for taking a second to read! I am really appreciative of any help you can provide.

I am looking to assign a point value to a "Overall" Table based on results from a specific field table.

EX:

One table has 16 people with results for a weeks worth of data. At the end i have made an average "Overall score" field to see who had the highest results for that time frame(In field j20-j32).

I would like for the spreadsheet to automatically assign points to the top three scores in fields (C3-c15). Scores would be 10 for top, 5 for second, 2 for third, and zero for everyone else.

is there a way to do this?

Thanks again for any help!

Hi,

Here's one way:

Book1
	B	C	D	I	J
2	Person	Rank Score
3	A	0
4	B	10
5	C	0
6	D	5
7	E	0
8	F	2
9	G	0
10	H	0
11	I	0
12	J	0
13	K	0
14	L	0
15	M	0
16
19				Person	Week's Average
20				A	11
21				B	23
22				C	12
23				D	22
24				E	13
25				F	21
26				G	14
27				H	20
28				I	15
29				J	19
30				K	16
31				L	18
32				M	17
Sheet17

Cell Formulas
Range	Formula
C3	=CHOOSE(RANK(J20,J$20:J$32),10,5,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)

C3 formula copied down to C15.

So i have a quick follow up to this amazing fix!

I would like to set a small box that Says the winners name:

EX: I have all of the total scores for the weeks activities in fields g3-g15

I would like for this to associate the person who is in a3-a15 (Name field) whomever has the highest score shows their name in field I4... does this require that i start making connections between data and names?

Hi,

See that you have a follow up question.

Well, since the person with the highest score is also the person Ranked 10, we can either use the Rank result or the Overall Total, both formulas provided:

Book1
	A	B	C	D	G	H	I	J
2	Person		Rank Score		Total Scores		Winner	Winner
3	A		0		77		B	B
4	B		10		161
5	C		0		84
6	D		5		154
7	E		0		91
8	F		2		147
9	G		0		98
10	H		0		140
11	I		0		105
12	J		0		133
13	K		0		112
14	L		0		126
15	M		0		119
16
19							Person	Week's Average
20							A	11
21							B	23
22							C	12
23							D	22
24							E	13
25							F	21
26							G	14
27							H	20
28							I	15
29							J	19
30							K	16
31							L	18
32							M	17
Sheet17

Cell Formulas
Range	Formula
C3	=CHOOSE(RANK(J20,J$20:J$32),10,5,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)
I3	=INDEX(A3:A15,MATCH(10,C3:C15,0))
J3	=INDEX(A3:A15,MATCH(MAX(G3:G15),G3:G15,0))

I3 formula uses the Rank score,
J3 formula uses the Total score.

Perfect!! The second one works great - I have text in the fields as well so the MAX function works the best - Thank you for your Awesome help!
