Sumif + Large = headache

Apologies, guess i didn't twig what you were actually after. Also not quite
sure on how you are laying this out, but assuming your data is in A2:A30 and
B2:B30 and that you want to put a formula in C2:C30, use

=SUMPRODUCT(LARGE(($A$2:$A$30=A2)*($B$2:$B$30),{1,2,3,4,5}))

or

=SUMPRODUCT(LARGE(($A$2:$A$30=A2)*($B$2:$B$30),ROW(INDIRECT("1:5"))))
