Hi.
can I suggest an alternative approach, altogether. see sheet.
Firstly, just leave non-playing rounds blank, not with a zero.
Secondly, the problem i had was accommodating the 3rd player, who scored 36 in all games. Hs Max value was equal to all values... that gave me a headache. So I modified the formula showing the maximum value to be non zero, only when the number did not occur in every round played.
So (array formula) t calculate an excluded score:
=IF((SUM(IFERROR(1/COUNTIF(E5:N5,E5:N5),0))=1),"",MAX(E5:N5))
thirdly, a simpler array formula for the rest:
=IFERROR(SMALL(IF($E5:$N5<>$S11,IF($E5:$N5<>"",$E5:$N5)),T$4),"")
Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.
You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.
Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...
This works fine if a player has 2 scores equal to the max (I5 and J5) AND when all games returned the same score (Player 3)
