Hi Ahamaz,

To get the number of attempts per name:
=SUM(IF($A$3:$A$14=D3,1,0))
This is an array formula and needs to be confirmed by hitting Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
$A$3:$A$14 is the range of all the names.
D3 is the location of the name you want to look up.

To get the highest mark per name:
=MAX(IF($A$3:$A$14=D3,1,0)*$B$3:$B$14)
This is also anarray formula, so confirm by hitting Ctrl+Shift+Enter.

To get the list of names you can copy the original list to a new column and remove the duplicates. The way to do this differs per Excel version.

Best regards,
Trowa

Hi

I am asumming that your Actual is in A1:B13 including the column headers and the output is in D1:F6 including headers.

Then in the following cells and copy down.

D2: =INDEX($A$2:$A$13,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($A$2:$A$13,"<"&$A$2:$A$13)-SUM(COUNTIF($A$2:$A$13,"="&D$1:D1)),0)). This is an array formula, Ctrl + Shift + Enter to commit.

E2: =COUNTIF($A$2:$A$13,$D2)

For Excel 2010>
F2: =AGGREGATE(14,6,$B$2:$B$13/($A$2:$A$13=$D2),1)

If you have Excel 2007<
F2: =MAX(IF($A$2:$A$13=$D2,$B$2:$B$13)) This is also an array formula, Ctrl + Shift + Enter to commit.
