LARGE

I am using "LARGE" to list a column from largest to
lowest, and sometimes it shows one item twice. Can anyone
tell me why?

Hi Troy
Instead of using LARGE, why don't you highlight your
column and then do Data/Sort/Descending

If the item appears twice in your source list, it will appear twice in your
LARGE list. If you want only the unique items listed, you would have to use
a fairly complex formula (which I don't remember offhand).

Hi Vasant,

I think (hope?) you are referring to the RANK+COUNTIF formula

=RANK(A1,$A$1:$A$10)+COUNTIF($A$1:$A1,A1)-1

The way I had the formula set up, I only had to add
another `IF' statement. Thanks.
