I have a list of competitors and their dogs that earn points in competitions that need to be tracked for the year. Currently, the standings are based on the total points earned by each team, but I would like to set up a scenario where I can see standings based only on the sum of a certain number of each team's top scores (either 5, 10, or 15).

I have formulas in place to sum up the number of competitions that each team has earned points in, as well as their total points earned for the year, but I don't know how to write the formula to add up only the top 5, 10 or 15 sets of points for each team. Is this possible?

I've attached my worksheet with my current progress.

Thank you

This is easily accomplished with a formula : =MAX(IF(A$2:A$5000=N2,F$2:F$5000,"")) . I copied the list of names in Column A and pasted them in column N, starting in N2. I then used "remove duplicates" in the Data tab to get the unique list. The formula was filled down as far as the list of names in Column N extends. The formula references this list to avoid the labor of typing each unique name in each formula. This can be adjusted and implemented for Columns G and H.

My apologies- you wanted the Sum, not the Max. Change MAX to SUM.
