i am trying to get the top values in the range listed below.the range will grow as the user enters data.thanks
$H$5:$H$7,$H$9:$H$10
You seem to have non-contiguous ranges. If this is true, it won't be possible to determine the addional areas where the user might enter data.
For non-contiguous bits of data, using the ranges you posted...
