Ranking


Posted by SJC on January 25, 2001 5:38 PM

I have a list of values that I would like to assign ranks among them. For example, in A1:A5 are manually-entered values. In B1:B5, I would like to assign ranks for the values in A1:A5.

I know how to do this by sorting by column A. My question is can the ranking be done without having to sort (including macros to sort)? Is there a formula that can accomplish this task?

Hi SJC


Yes there is and It's called RANK (believe it or not). Here's an example:

=RANK(A1,$A$1:$A$15)

Where A1 is the number to Rank and A1:A15 is the range of numbers to Rank A1 against.

Hope this helps
