1) Say I have done this ranking formula thing but I actually wanted to rank it another way round, the thing is on the average of time, what is the formula to it?
This is my current formula =RANK(G$5:G$12,G$5:G$12)

2) Next, how do I go about connecting a formula to make them assign points according to the ranking column in H?

It will goes like this: Rank 1 will have "5"points, Rank 2 will have "3"points, Rank 3 will have "2"points, Rank 4 will have "1"point, Rank 5 to 8 will have "0"points.

I only manage to do for the Rank 1 while the rest of the rank receives a word name "false"

My current formula to this is =IF(H10=1,"5")

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.

Few ways of doing this bit but one might be:

=IF(H10=1,5,IF(H10>4,0,5-H10))
