Simple spreadsheet that should return the game that recorded the particular winning margin. The repeat value (50) causes a SPILL error and I can't work out why.

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Your FILTER FUNCTION is returning two rows in both H3 and H4. This is because you have two values of 50 (your largest margin). You need to have some kind of tiebreaker system.

Here is an option using INDEX.

You could replace all your formulas with something like:

Excel Formula:
=SORT(FILTER($B$3:$E$7,$D$3:$D$7>=LARGE(D3:D7,3)),3,-1)
