top 5 numbers how do you do this?

Use the LARGE function. If the data is in the range A2:A50 then use the
formula
=LARGE($A$2:$A$50,1)
then copy it down 5 rows and change the 1 to 2, etc.
If you want the answers in B2:B6 then you could elaborate with the
following, entered in B2 and copied down
=LARGE($A$1:$A$32,ROW(2:6)-1)

Use autofilter and select top 10 and in the next window select 5 and click OK
Use a formula like this and copy down 5 rows
=LARGE($A$1:$A$100,ROW(1:1))
