Duplicate Values

Peelercm

I have a function that’s returning the top 5 values. However when two or more lines have the same value, its only returning the first fty in the list. So as below, instead of returning APU002 as the second with 3 occurrences, it lists A2B001 a second time.

Formula used is =INDEX(COLLECT(Fty$1:Fty$5, Occurrences$1:Occurrences$5, LARGE(Occurrences$1:Occurrences$5, 1)), 1)

I figured it out and its ridiculously simple, naturally. I added a helper column with random decimals and a "helper + Occurrences" column. Then had the Top 5 Occurrences column pull "large()" from the Occurrences column, and had the Top 5 Fty column pull from the "helper + Occurrences" column.

Another way is to have a look at Genevieve P.'s solution with respect to Index Match

https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/76744/index-match-with-duplicate-data

Basically, it is having problems because both data have the same values how does it pick the winner?

=JOIN(COLLECT(Fty$1:Fty$5, Occurrences$1:Occurrences$5, LARGE(Occurrences$1:Occurrences$5, 1)), " / ")

=JOIN(COLLECT(Fty$1:Fty$5, Occurrences$1:Occurrences$5, LARGE(Occurrences$1:Occurrences$5, 2)), " / ")

=JOIN(COLLECT(Fty$1:Fty$5, Occurrences$1:Occurrences$5, LARGE(Occurrences$1:Occurrences$5, 3)), " / ")

=JOIN(COLLECT(Fty$1:Fty$5, Occurrences$1:Occurrences$5, LARGE(Occurrences$1:Occurrences$5, 4)), " / ")

=JOIN(COLLECT(Fty$1:Fty$5, Occurrences$1:Occurrences$5, LARGE(Occurrences$1:Occurrences$5, 5)), " / ")

This will show you "A2B001 / APU002" for 3 and 24P001 / AK4003 for 1

If there are unique values they will be shown alone Ex.APU013
