Excel Code

    Hey all,

    I've gotten myself involved in an "Operation Transformation" type thingy, and i've been asked to create an Excel sheet for progress. I've it all on one workbook with multiple sheets. It's not on this computer, so i can't upload a screenshot of it, this is the basic premise:

    - Sheet 1: 7 blocks with team name, members, individual and total weight
    - Sheet 2-8: Team weekly loss
    - Sheet 9: Totals
    - There are 7 teams, and each week i have it set up that i enter the weight lost and it calculates the % of total lost. This is entered beside each individual in sheets 2-8.
    - Each team is shown on the final sheet with their % loss and lbs lost, per team, per week. This auto populates through calculations and references to cells in sheets 1-8

    What i need is, that on sheet 9 (total), there will be another grid which will list the highest Team % loss in order of biggest % to smallest %. What i want to do is, instead of the % showing up (which is simple MAX(xxxxx)), i want the team name associated with that percentage to show up.

    IE:
    |Week 1|Week 2
    Team 1|4.0%|3.9%
    Team 2|3.5%|4.1%
    Team 3|4.2%|2.7%
    Team 4|3.9%|3.1%


    |Week 1|Week 2
    Leader|Team 3|A
    Second|Team 1|B
    Third|Team 4|C
    Fourth|Team 2|D


    I want A to equal Team 2, B to equal Team 1, etc. (Also, i can do the MAX formula to get the top team, but how do i do second, third, fourth, etc?)

    Don't know if i'm explaining it well, and i should have a screenshot at some stage tomorrow, will post it up then. It's been way too long since i done anything like this in excel!
