    sort top five cells in order from other sheet

    I am sorting a row of cells from sheet "A" to sheet "B" and want to have only the top 5 cells listed by a numerical ascending order. I can do this by using the LARGER function. The problem is that i want the adjacent cell in column "a" that contains text on sheet "A" to follow the numercal sorted cells in column "b".

    Use your SMALL() function to list the 5 values on the new sheet.

    Then use VLOOKUP() to bring over the next value:

    =VLOOKUP(A1, SheetA!$A:$B, 2, 0)
