    We haven't played one of these fun games in a while, so lets see what you can come up with.

    Columns J, N, R and V will contain a value of 1, 2, 3, or 4
    The value in Column F will be assigned either 1, 2, 3, or 4 depending on the following criteria:
    Looking at J, N, R and V, looking for the best 3 out of 4 highest performing values (1 is lowest performing, 4 is highest performing).
    Examples:
    J=1, N=2, R=3, V=3, then the value in F would be 2
    J=1, N=1, R=1, V=4, then the value in F would be 1
    J=2, N=1, R=3, V=4, then the value in F would be 2
    J=1, N=3, R=3, V=4, then the value in F would be 3
    J=2, N=4, R=4, V=4, then the value in F would be 4

    Watcha got?

    Use the large function: =LARGE(array,3)

    I'm not really understanding how you're calculating F.

    Nevermind, now I get it. As @Yzasserina said, use either the large or small array function (mine is not using the usual array brackets because it wasn't needed in this case).
