Thumbs up Answer: Ranking by multiple Criteria

Yes, you can use the RANK function in Excel to rank the teams based on multiple criteria. Here's how you can do it:
  1. Add a new column to your dataset, let's say column C, and label it "Rank".
  2. In cell C1, enter the following formula:
    Formula:
    =RANK(A1,$A$1:$A$4)+RANK(B1,$B$1:$B$4
  3. Drag the formula down to the rest of the cells in column C.
  4. Now, you can sort the data based on the values in column C to get the ranking based on both criteria.

The RANK function in Excel returns the rank of a number within a range of numbers. By adding the ranks of the two criteria, we can get a combined rank for each team. The dollar signs in the formula make sure that the range of numbers used for ranking remains constant even when we drag the formula down to other cells.

Once you have the ranks in column C, you can sort the data based on the values in that column to get the ranking based on both criteria. To do this, select the entire dataset including the header row, go to the "Data" tab in the ribbon, and click on "Sort". In the "Sort" dialog box, select "Rank" as the sort by column and choose "Smallest to Largest" as the sort order. Click "OK" to sort the data. The teams will now be ranked based on both criteria.
