Using SMALL in vba

[GreenyMcDuff]

hey fellas,

I have a range, say column JD, which contains percentiles. These Since there are not always 100 objects in this list the numbers 1-100 are not always discretely listed in the column.

I need to find the top 5 percentiles in Column JD and set them to a variable using IF statements, this is what I have:

 For i = 12 To LastRow
        If Range("JD" & i).Value = Small Then
            Performer1 = Range("JD" & i).Value
Next

So if my column looks like this:

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 96pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=128><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" span=2 width=64><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8;

I would want 1,2,5,27,29 to be returned. And in the example above the variable Performer1 would be 1

Hope this makes sense, if not just ask

Thanks

why don't you do it with the formula SMALL...
for example in cell JE1 put the formula....

=SMALL(JD:JD,1)

and keep on incrementing the value of 1 till 5 for the next 5 cells....

Thanks for the response Jay,

Ideally I want the small to be a condition in an IF statement,

If Range("JD" & i).Value =SMALL(JD:JD,1) Then

I can do it by writing the formula into the cell but it's a little bit messy.

Is it possible to do this?

Thanks
