Formula - rank numbers high to low

[psrs0810]

I have a listing of values and I need to place a number 1-10 for the top 10 highest numbers.
For example, out of these 16 numbers I need a 1 next to the highest number, a 2 next to the second highest number, etc.

10,527.65
5,655.68
1,701.93
1,349.18
0.00
573.11
140.86
6,064.77
2,093.60
5,680.65
4,045.40
5,546.32
-1,033.02
-277.55
891.20
25,699.12

Thats just a RANK formula:

1	Score	Rank
2	10,527.65	2
3	5,655.68	5
4	1,701.93	9

Glad we could help & thanks for the feedback

what if I want to make my Rank formula dynamic?
if I have 12 months of data and I have a cell that shows a particular month, I want to rank that month. but if I change the month, how do I have my formula automatically change columns?
Thanks

How is your data laid out? Do you have 12 columns, one per month? Or do you have 2 columns, 1 with the score, 1 with the month? Or something else?

12 columns, one per month

I still have some doubts about how the layout looks, but consider:

By changing the value in A1, it will rank the values from the corresponding column.
