Hi, the problem is that i need this top values in another sheet. that's why i
need the formulas. and the sheet with the database is connected to a database
and i cannot modify it.
So i need a formula to make the sum by names and than to display in another
sheet, the top name and sum. In the cell bellow i need the second top value
and name....and so on....


Can this be done?
