Hello all,
I am building a National Hockey League standings table that is based on "percentage of points available" to each term (points/(games played*2)). Unfortunately, some teams are tied in this category, so i have implemented several tie-breakers that I was hoping would help me rank each team more accurately. I am using the RANK and SUMPRODUCT formulas to put together division rankings (1-5), but for some reason, the formula is not placing the teams in their corresponding 1-5 spots.
Formula for Ranking the teams: =RANK(G4, $G$3:$G$7, 0)+SUMPRODUCT(--(G4=$G$3:$G$7),--(C4<$C$3:$C$7),--(E4>$E$3:$E$7),--(F4>$F$3:$F$7))
<tbody>
</tbody>
In this scenario, Toronto should be ranked higher than Ottawa - based on the tie-breaker Goals For - but for some reason, they are listed as tied.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
