X Lookup returning multiple matches
Hi. I'm trying to show a list of placings, i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. but when there are more than 2 with the same amount, it puts that person twice. How can I fix this so it shows the correct placings...

I would change the structure and then do a pivot table.
But I also included a formula solution.

LizM1980 Thanks! Not sure I understand what I'm looking at, but I would begin by rearranging the data. Rather than having two rows per person and merged cells, I prefer to use a structured table with one row per person. One column for the name, followed by 5 columns with numbers between 1 and 10, followed by 5 columns that lookup the correct values from another structured table. Then a TOTAL for the 5 lookup results and then a column for the Ranking, sorted Smallest to Largest. Now you can use the first 10 rows for a Top 10 listing.
