    If you have Microsoft 365 or Office 2021, enter the following formula in a cell. It will spill to three cells automatically.

     

    =FILTER(A2:A7, B2:B7>=LARGE(B2:B7, 3))

     

    The following will work in any version. Enter the following formula in F2 and confirm with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, then fill down to F4.

     

    =INDEX($A$2:$A$7,MATCH(1,($B$2:$B$7=LARGE($B$2:$B$7,ROW()-1))*(COUNTIF($F$1:$F1,$A$2:$A$7)= 0),0))

     

    See the attached sample workbook.
