Default Ranking without skipping ranks and percentile

Dear Garry,

Thanks for your response.

I have the data of ColA only. I would like to have a formula in ColB for Ranks (not percentile; highest first then the second highest etc., with same rank for same mark) and I need percentile ranks in ColC using the given formula below. Both ColB & Col C should be auto generated even if ColA is not sorted for highest to smallest.

90 1 100%

60 2 67%

32 3 36%

30 4 33%

30 4 33%

28 5 31%

28 5 31%

28 5 31%


To find the percentile rank of a score, x, out of a set of n scores, where x is included:

(B + 0.5 E) *(100/n) = Percentile Rank

Where B = number of scores below x
E = number of scores equal to x
n = number of scores

Please help me.

Thanks
Jee

Given how ranking works.., same score share the same rank. So...



90 1

60 2

32 3

..is how the results should display.



If the top score is the marker for percentile then set the NumberFormat

for colC to Percent and enter the following formula in C3...



=$A3/$A$1



..and copy down. The results are...



90 1 100%

60 2 67%

32 3 36%

30 4 33%

30 4 33%

28 5 31%

26 6 29%

26 6 29%

26 6 29%

26 6 29%

26 6 29%
