Hi, I'm looking for a way to rank a list of stores based on different categories, which are weighted differently. In the example below, we have 5 different stores that I want to rank. Sales category has a weight of 70%, UPT has a weight of 5%, Conv% has a weight of 10%, and Hours used has a weight of 15%. For Sales, UPT, and Conv%, the higher the number or %, the better. For Hours Used, the lower the number the better it is. I was wondering what formulas would help me with this. I've tried sumproduct and rank, but could not figure out how. Any suggestions would help, thanks

MO-9950k2.360%500
RX-3725k225%300
TP-9210k1.250%200
XD-2125k132%400

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Maybe:

RangeFormula
G2:G6G2=B2*$K$2+C2*$K$3+D2*100*$K$4+(MAX(E:E)-E2)*$K$5
H2:H6H2=RANK(G2,$G$2:$G$6)


I took the "k" off the values in B. I did not write the values as 800000, etc. since that would vastly increase the relative weighting. Conv% I multiplied by 100, or that would have ended up being almost inconsequential. For the hours used, I found the maximum hours in column E, then subtracted the value on each row from that, effectively reversing the order. Then the RANK function is quite basic. You can combine both formulas (G:H) into one, but it makes more sense this way.

Hope this helps!
