Hi All

I am ranking data using the below formula but if a cell is blank then I would like that cell ignored and only rank cells that contain data

{=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$10243=$A2),--(IR$2:IR$10243>IR2))+1}

The A2:A10243 is a column containing an id number for the data held in cells IR2:IR10243.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.

Hi

Maybe...

Excel 2007 or higher
=IF(IR2<>"",COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$10243,A2,$IR$2:$IR$10243,">"&IR2)+1,"")

Excel 2003
=IF(IR2<>"",SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$10243=A2),--($IR$2:$IR$10243>IR2))+1,"")

I have used this formula to not rank if the reference cell was blank and it works well.

Then I have tried to include two blank condition =IF(OR(A2<>””,B2<>””),SUMPRODUCT...

The problem with this is that the second blank condition still adds a ranking number even though the reference cell is blank. Is there a way that I can apply a second blank condition to the formula.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for reply. I have tried "AND" and it does not rank if either of the blank conditions are met.

The problem now is that if the second blank condition is met then the ranking numbers are not adjusted. Example ranking 1,2,3,4,6. 5 is missing because the second blank condition has been met but the ranking sequence is not adjusted.

=IF(AND(E3<>"",K3<>""), SUMPRODUCT(--(E3=$E$3:$E$42),--(G3<$G$3:$G$42))+1,"")

Any ideas in how to fix this?

Try OR instead of AND

I have tried "OR" but than neither of the blank conditions are met. I have also tried (AND(OR and (OR(AND but none of them work.

=IF(AND(E3<>"",K3<>""), SUMPRODUCT(--(E3=$E$3:$E$42),--(G3<$G$3:$G$42))+1,"")

=IF(OR(E3<>"",K3<>""), SUMPRODUCT(--(E3=$E$3:$E$42),--(G3<$G$3:$G$42))+1,"")

=IF(AND(OR(E3<>"",K3<>"")), SUMPRODUCT(--(E3=$E$3:$E$42),--(G3<$G$3:$G$42))+1,"")

=IF(OR(AND(E3<>"",K3<>"")), SUMPRODUCT(--(E3=$E$3:$E$42),--(G3<$G$3:$G$42))+1,"")
