Chris,

Almost two years later...maybe someone else can benefit from my answer.

Array formula in cell A12:

=INDEX(tbl, SMALL(IF(SMALL(tbl,ROW(A1))=tbl, ROW(tbl)-MIN(ROW(tbl))+1),COUNTIF($B$12:B12,B12)), MATCH(SMALL(tbl,ROW(A1)), INDEX(tbl, SMALL(IF(SMALL(tbl,ROW(A1))=tbl, ROW(tbl)-MIN(ROW(tbl))+1),COUNTIF($B$12:B12,B12)), , 1), 0)-1, 1)

Array formula in cell B12:

=INDEX(tbl, MIN(IF(SMALL(tbl,ROW(A1))=tbl, ROW(tbl)-MIN(ROW(tbl))+1)), MATCH(SMALL(tbl,ROW(A1)), INDEX(tbl, MIN(IF(SMALL(tbl,ROW(A1))=tbl, ROW(tbl)-MIN(ROW(tbl))+1)), , 1), 0), 1)

Matt,

I think the new formulas work for a larger range now.

Thank you. Hi - Thank you for putting this example on line...my question is, how do you change the formula to select the top 5 highest (loses) negitive values first.

Thank you.
