Salses amounts starting in cell A2. Enter this formula in B2 and copy

as needed:

=RANK(A2,A$2:A$15)+COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)-1

I am dealing with a dataset that has a many ties in it. This is a list
of
sales from 2008 to current, by customer and I need to rank on total
sales.
In many cases, our smaller customers will buy the same items in the
same
quantity month after month so it is not uncommon to have 100+ customers
with
the exact same total sales amount.

How would I write a formula to ignore multiple ties, e.g.:

Total Amount Rank
1,000,000 1
900,000 2
300,000 3
5,000 4
5,000 5
5,000 6
5,000 7
5,000 8
2,500 9
2,500 10
50 11
50 12
50 13
25 14
and so on.

Thanks!
