First, to make each score unique, add a column next to the random ordered
scores - such as BA. In BA4 enter:

=AZ4+(COUNTIF(AZ$4:AZ4,AZ4)*0.001)

then copy the formula from BA4 and paste into BA5:BA53.

Second, change your formula to look at BA instead of AZ. So
{=large$AZ$4:$AZ$53,ROW(1:1)))}....., is changed to
{=large$BA$4:$BA$53,ROW(1:1)))}.....

Third, to display which place each competitor ranked, add a column next to
the column in the second step - let's assume that the sorted rankings
start
in A1 of sheet 2. In B1 of sheet 2 enter: 1. In B2 of sheet 2 enter:

=IF(TRUNC(A2)=TRUNC(A1),A1,A1+1)

copy the formula from B2 and paste into B3:B49

You can format the number to not display any places after the decimal, so
that there won't be confusion when someone views the scores.

the {=large$AZ$4:$AZ$53,ROW(1:1)))} formula will display an error when
there
are no more values to rank.

The Match function should now look at column BA or column A in sheet 2,
where there are no identical scores.

In a workbook I have a sheet that results in a column of random scores
via
"large" formula:
{=large$AZ$4:$AZ$53,ROW(1:1)))}.....
From this "large" formula the results are shown in another sheet from
highest score to lowest scores (eg. 434), including competitors name.
Now I have 2 players with a score of 434 in above mentioned column,
using
"index/match functions, but it repeats the fisrt name with 434 instead
of 2
different names.
It works OK if scores are all different.

I wonder if I may incorperate "round" function in the "large" formula ??
