I am trying to do something that should be simple, by my brain is having a dumb block.

I have a table of sites showing their ranking for various performance measures.
I just want to create a list showing which is their best and worst measures, but I'm getting confused where they may be the same rank across various measures.

Would anyone please be kind enough to point me in the right direction...

Site 1Site 2Site 3Site 4
Measure 12314
Measure 21233
Measure 34141
Measure 43214
Measure 52134
Site 1Site 2Site 3Site 4
Best MeasureMeasure 2
2nd Best MeasureMeasure 1
3rd Best MeasureMeasure 5
Site 1Site 2Site 3Site 4
Worst Measure
2nd Wort Measure
3rd Worst Measure

Thanks, but that’s not quite what I need. I want it to show the “name” of the best measures and worst measures.

my problem is that one site may he say, 2nd best for three different measures, then say 4th for another measure, so the sheet needs to look up the names of the best performing measures (and also worst, which I’m sure I can work out once I get my head round it).

Sorry. You're right, you asked for the name.Let's try an auxiliary column for each Site. The good news is that it is the same formula for all auxiliary columns. The same for the best and worst, is the same formula.
