On this worksheet we're looking for the 5 highest values on column D
The formula here is LARGE(B$3:B$38,1) and so on until LARGE(B$3:B$38,5)
Now on column E we're getting the corresponding value from Column A
We're using the match function with the large function
=MATCH(LARGE(B$3:B$38,1),B3:B38,0) and it works fine until it finds multiple values
On the attached picture the first two return the correct corresponding value which is the number 27 being the highest value and 8 being the 2nd highest value but the third then it start returning number 1 which is the 3rd highest value it finds because then it has 19, 24 and 26

Any idea how to work around this to get all these values

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
How about
Excel Formula:
=TAKE(SORT(CHOOSECOLS(A3:B38,2,1),1,-1),5)
