Formula Help

You are welcome. This formula works in the actual file.
=INDEX($J$21:$T$21,MATCH(LARGE($J$22:$T$22,COLUMN(A1)),$J$22:$T$22,0))
=LARGE(array, k)
Within the LARGE function k represents the k-th largest value.
In cell B25 for k the expression COLUMN(A1) evaluates to 1.
In cell C25 for k the expression COLUMN(B1) evaluates to 2.
In cell D25 for k the expression COLUMN(C1) evaluates to 3.
COLUMN(A1) allows to select the first, second, third-largest value when the formula is filled across the row.

thank youOliverScheurich
