I am creating a report that allows the user to select different facilities across the US and then have alot of data be condensed into this report format. One of the sections I is the top 5 occupational types - so depending on whcih state you select, the top 5 occupation types will be different. Thereofre I need a formula that will return the "TOP 5" in a list depending on which facility is selected.

At first I was thinking of "getppivotdata" or a if/then array. Anyone have suggestions on where I can start?
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
You can use this formula to get as many TOP's as you need:

=LARGE($H$2:H2:H18,ROWS($A$1:A1))

(copy down)

if your data are in row H.


Could you post some real data from your sheet?
