Ref: This thread: How to use conditional formatting to highlight top 3 ranked scores - breaks when 2 scores are the same :-(
Hi Peter, I'm wanting to do exactly the same, however want to treat 1st, 2nd, 3rd more like one would expect in a sporting race.
Two examples:
* If two people tie for 1st place: the result would be 1st Gold, 1st Gold, 3rd Bronze (no silver because the 3rd person was the 3rd (bronze) past the post).
* If two people tie for 2nd place: the result would be 1st Gold, 2nd Silver, 2nd Silver, no bronze awarded.
* If two people tie for 3rd place: the result would be 1st Gold, 2nd Silver, 3rd Bronze, 3rd Bronze.
Is this possible? In my case, my table is A205:L304, with the values to 'rank' in column L. I'm hoping to be able to highlight the whole row.
