Good Evening,

This is more of a manual process, but you could automate it with a macro. If you have a blank column next to your data, enter this formula to Rank the values using conditions (assumes data is in the range A1:B10 with a header row):

=1+SUMPRODUCT(($B$2:$B$10=B2)*($C$2:$C$10>C2))

Now that you have a rank for each type of value in column B, you can either filter or use Advanced Filter to find the values you want to copy/paste.
