Default Ranking

But ranking as number one is the highest, or are you saying that "it is
ranked number 1" is not equal to the highest ranking? Regardless, if you
want to rank the other way just use zero or omit the last number. I guess I
misunderstood when you said

"I am trying to use the RANK function but I keep getting the largest number
ranked the highest. I need to rank it the lowest"

and with

1
5
10

my formula returns

1
2
3

So to me it sounds as if you mean the opposite to what you said

Thanks, but that ranks the lowest number as 1. What I need is to rank the
highest number as 1.
