Caculate the min value of top 3 rank in excel năm 2024

To find the n lowest values in a set of data, you can use the SMALL function. This can be combined with INDEX as shown below to retrieve associated values. In the example shown, the formula in F7 is:

=SMALL(bid,E7)

Note: this worksheet has two named ranges: bid (C5:C12), and company (B5:B12), used for convenience and readability only.

Generic formula

Explanation

The SMALL function retrieves the smallest values from data based on a given rank. For example:

=SMALL(range,1) // smallest =SMALL(range,2) // 2nd smallest =SMALL(range,3) // 3rd smallest

In the worksheet shown, the rank (which is provided to SMALL as the k argument) comes from numbers in column E.

Retrieve associated values

To retrieve the name of the company associated with the smallest bids, we can use an INDEX and MATCH formula. In the worksheet shown, the formula in G7 is:

=INDEX(company,MATCH(F7,bid,0))

Here, the value in column F is used as the lookup value inside MATCH, with the named range bid (C5:C12) for lookup_array, and match_type set to zero to force an exact match. MATCH returns the location of the value to INDEX as the row number. INDEX then retrieves the corresponding value from the named range company (B5:B12). An all-in-one formula to get the company name in one step would look like this:

=INDEX(company,MATCH(SMALL(bid,E7),bid,0))

Note: if your values contain duplicates you may get ties when you try to rank. You can use a formula like this to break times.

FILTER option

The FILTER function provides a better way to retrieve the top or bottom n values from a set of data. See this page for an example.

The RANK function in Excel returns the rank of a number in a list of numbers. Use RANK.AVG to return the average rank if more than one number has the same rank.

1. If the third argument is omitted (or 0), Excel ranks the largest number first, second largest number second, etc.

Note: when we drag this formula down, the absolute reference ($A$1:$A$9) stays the same, while the relative reference (A1) changes to A2, A3, A4, etc.

2. If the third argument is 1, Excel ranks the smallest number first, second smallest number second, etc.

Note: the RANK function is an old function. Microsoft Excel recommends using the new RANK.EQ function in Excel 2010 or later. There's no difference at all between these two functions.

3. The RANK.AVG function in Excel 2010 or later returns the average rank if more than one number has the same rank.

4. To create a clean RANK function, use a named range instead of an absolute range reference.

Explanation: the named range Data refers to the range A1:A9.

If you're using Excel 365 or Excel 2021, create the following RANK formula. This formula will amaze and impress your co-workers.

5. We want to show the top 3 results. Enter the value 3 into cell D2.

6. To find the third largest score, use the LARGE function below. The named range Scores refers to the range B2:B8.

7. The FILTER function below shows all students with a score greater than or equal to the third largest score.

Note: the FILTER function, entered into cell F2, fills multiple cells. Wow!

8. Finally, add the SORT function to sort by the second column (second argument), in descending order (third argument).

Note: use 1 to sort in ascending order, use -1 to sort in descending order.

9. This RANK formula works for every N. For example, enter the value 5 into cell D2 to show the top 5 results.

Note: this dynamic array formula, entered into cell F2, fills multiple cells. This behavior in Excel 365/2021 is called spilling. Tip: download the Excel file (right side of this page) and give it a try.

How do I find the top 3 highest values in Excel?

The LARGE function in Excel is used to return the n-th largest value from a numeric data set. For example, it can calculate the highest score, the 2nd largest order, the 3rd place result, and so on. Where: Array - a range or an array where to search for the largest value.

How do I count top 3 in Excel?

Functions help find top or bottom N values in excel very easily. The functions used to find Nth largest and Nth smallest number are \= LARGE(array, k) and = SMALL(array, k) respectively.

How do you find the lowest 3 value in Excel?

Excel formula to get bottom 3, 5, 10, etc. values in Excel. In this case, we use the SMALL function to extract the k-th smallest value and the ROWS function with an expanding range reference to generate the k number. Enter it in the topmost cell, and then drag down through as many cells as many values you want to get.

How do you highlight top 3 values in Excel?

On the Home tab, click Conditional Formatting > New Rule. In the New Formatting Rule dialog box, choose Format only top or bottom ranked values. In the drop-down list, select Top or Bottom, and type how many values to highlight in the box next to it.
