Index Match duplicate return
Hi Guys,
i have trawled the internet to get this working to no luck, i am a novice at this.
I want to create a leader board excel which i am going use in multiple ways for work.
i have managed to get an index match to return most of what i need it to, but i want to avoid duplicate return names.
where am i going wrong, please can someone help me?
Thank you in advance
Which version of Excel do you have / do you need to support?
- i am using office 365
A not so helpful solution might be to ditch whatever version of Excel you currently us and switch to 365. Then the formula could be
= SORTBY(HSTACK(name,total),total,-1)I cant seem to get this to give me any results, just #spill!
I should also explain i have another formula to create the leader board aswell.
i have a feeling i have over complicated this
I am not sure why you should get a spill error unless you are trying to place the result in a table or copy/fill the formula down (the bottom one should still work in the latter case).
Maybe start by trying
= SORTBY(name, total,-1)
