Example
The following table was used to calculate the medals for athletes taking part in a race.
The Time for each athlete is entered.
The =RANK() function calculates the finishing position of each athlete.
The =CHOOSE() then allocates the correct medal.
The =IF() has been used to filter out any positions above 3, as this would cause
the error of #VALUE to appear, due to the fact the =CHOOSE() has only three items in it.
Name	Time	Position	Medal
Alan	01:30	2	Silver	=IF(D30<=3,CHOOSE(D30,"Gold","Silver","Bronze"),"unplaced")
Bob	01:15	4	unplaced	=IF(D31<=3,CHOOSE(D31,"Gold","Silver","Bronze"),"unplaced")
Carol	02:45	1	Gold	=IF(D32<=3,CHOOSE(D32,"Gold","Silver","Bronze"),"unplaced")
David	01:05	5	unplaced	=IF(D33<=3,CHOOSE(D33,"Gold","Silver","Bronze"),"unplaced")
Eric	01:20	3	Bronze	=IF(D34<=3,CHOOSE(D34,"Gold","Silver","Bronze"),"unplaced")
		=RANK(C34,C30:C34)
