You would need to set up a table and reference your data using a LARGE function.

Ok so now I have the top 5 values for one column..... but can I return multiple columns from that row? For example the names, values and country of the top 5 customers by order value.

Thanks for the cover, Mike. I had copied the same link to add to my comment, got busy before I hit submit, then forgot to put the link in when I came back to it. It's been a "fun" week.

Haha. I understand those types of week. I think I've had one of those years.
