I have a Google Sheet that collects data and analyses any trends.
What I'm trying to do is figure out how to output the text value associated with the numerical value.
Example:
Apples 7
Oranges 2
Pears 0
Mangoes 4
I grab the highest values by doing the following..
= LARGE(B:B, 1)
= LARGE(B:B, 2)
= LARGE(B:B, 3)
My desired output would look like..
Top 3
-------
Apples 7
Mangoes 4
Oranges 2
Which then changes dynamically according to the data values in column B.
But how do I then output the text value associated with this?

With the following formula you can accomplish that.

The
QUERY
formula selects the two columns and orders them descendingly according to column B. Then it limits the result to three rows (top 3).Screenshot
