Dear Smartest Excelers In The World,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
I want to extract the top 3 customer names with a single formula (no helper cells and no sorting data). I have come up with a formula. I am hoping that someone can see a better formula (shorter, faster calculating, etc.).<o></o>
<o></o>
Here is the data and formulas (formulas in green):<o>
</o><o>
</o>
<o></o>
<o>Formula in cell F4 is copied throughout range F4:I5:</o>
<o></o>
<o>
Entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. If entered correctly, Excel will surround with curly braces {}. Note: Do not try and enter these manually yourself
</o>
<o></o>
<o>Any ideas how to make this ridiculous formula better?<o></o></o>
