Assuming the values are in A1:A5

=RANK(A1,$A$1:$A$5)-(COUNTIF($A$1:$A$5,""&A1)-SUMPRODUCT((1/COUNTIF($A$1:$A$5,$A$1:$A$5))*($A$1:$A$5A1)))

Hi

I have a list of values that I need to rank in descending order. Usually
the RANK function is OK, but here is my problem. I need the list to use
'generous' rules. If there is a tie for 2nd, lets say, then I need the
next place to be 3rd, NOT 4th as the RANK function does.

eg
Scores Rank(correct) Rank(wrong)
14.04 1 1
12.665 2 2
12.665 2 2
11.725 3 4
0.000 4 5

Any ideas how I can deal with this situation?

Thanks in advance
Bri
