Attempting to figure out highest scoring players

[tpasmall]

Hi, I'm creating database for a hockey league and I need to create a formula for a record book which would find the players with the most points and show their name.

Here's my basic formula:

=INDEX(A13:B16;MATCH(MAX(B13:B16);B13:B16;0);1)​

Now this formula works great as long as there are no duplicate values in column B.​

I was wondering if there was a way to get the answer for all the values, not just the first occurance of it.​

Example:​

Name: Points:
Wayne Gretzky 7
Mario Lemiuex 7
Harry Houdini 4
Peter Griffin 7​

I'd like to be able to get the formula to find Gretzky, Lemiuex and Griffin.​

Thanks,
Dave​

Try this...

Enter these labels in the cells:

• D1 = Max Points
• E1 = Count

Enter this formula in D2:

=MAX(B13:B16)

Enter this formula in E2:

=COUNTIF(B13:B16,D2)

Enter this array formula** in F2:

=IF(ROWS(F$2:F2)>E$2,"",INDEX(A:A,SMALL(IF(B$13:B$16=D$2,ROW(B$13:B$16)),ROWS(F$2:F2))))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then hit ENTER.

Copy down until you get blanks.
