Keeping rows based on source rankings in excel?

Time:07-12

I have a table that looks like this -

Source Rank Value
1 A
2 A
3 A
2 B
3 B
1 C
2 C
3 C

I want to make only keep the rows for each value with best rank. So the table will look like this -

Source Rank Value
1 A
2 B
1 C

It's almost impossible to find a better argument for the invention of the "Subtotals" feature, as you can see:

Oh, in case you don't get the same results immediately: don't forget to click the 2 button in the left margin :-)

Create a Pivot Table from the source data, and set:
Row Labels: Value
Values: Source Rank - and use the pulldown to set to Min
Admittedly this will have the columns the other way round from what you show as ideal result.
