Approach 1: Utilizing SORT()
and TAKE()
Functions
=TAKE(SORT(FILTER(A2:P43,(B2:B43="Arizona")*(A2:A43=2010)),8,-1),3)
FILTER()
: This function extracts data from the specified range (A2:P43) based on two conditions:(B2:B43="Arizona")
: Rows with "Arizona" in column B.(A2:A43=2010)
: Rows with the year 2010 in column A.SORT()
: This function arranges the filtered data in ascending order based on the eighth column (column H, which contains the Wins data).TAKE()
: This function extracts the top three rows from the sorted data, effectively providing the top three teams with the most wins.
Approach 2: Leveraging Structured References (Tables)
=TAKE(SORT(FILTER(_master,(_master[Team]="Arizona")*(_master[Year]=2010)),8,-1),3)
- This approach utilizes structured references, also known as tables, to simplify the formula.
- The
_master
reference represents the table containing the data. In this case, it's assumed that the data is organized in a table format. - The formula follows the same logic as Approach 1, using
FILTER()
,SORT()
, andTAKE()
to extract the top three teams.
