Rankings

[Element121279]

Hey,

I need a formula that will rank a string of numbers in order from 1 to 11 (with 11 being the best). Generally, it's as simple as using the RANK function, but I need ties to be calculated differently.

In this example, I would need the formula to display the rankings as such in the events of ties.

Score-Rank
50-11
45-10
40-8
40-8
40-8
30-5.5
30-5.5
22-4
17-3
15-2
13-1

Can anyone help?

=RANK(L5,L5:L15,1)

I don't understand where teh 8's come from or the 5.5

If you have Excel 2007 or later you can use =RANK.AVG(A1,$A$1:$A$11,1)

Why is 40 ranked 8. Shouldn't it be ranked 7.33333333 ?

If you have Excel 2007 or later you can use =RANK.AVG(A1,$A$1:$A$11,1)

Excel 2007 doesn't have that function.

I think it's an Excel 2010 function.

Why is 40 ranked 8. Shouldn't it be ranked 7.33333333 ?

Not if I need a ranking between 1 and 11. The 8's are (7+8+9)/3. The 5.5's is (5+6)/2.

This one I *do* understand...

Using a method where duplicate values are incremented, so there are no gaps in the ranking...
Where there ARE duplicates...average their incremented ranks.

Example:

40 is ranked 7, 8, and 9...with an average of 8

 

[mole999]

so you want the rankings to rank lower than their real positions

maybe a custom UDF

 

[Aladin Akyurek]

If you are not Excel 2010...

B2, just enter and copy down:

=RANK(A2,$A$2:$A$12,1)+COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A2)-1

C2, just enter and copy down:

=SUMIF($A$2:$A$12,A2,$B$2:$B$12)/COUNTIF($A$2:$A$12,A2)

or

=AVERAGEIF($A$2:$A$12,A2,$B$2:$B$12)

The values in the C-range are the desired ranks.
