Correction...

If you want to exactly emulate the RANK function:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ABS(A1)ABS(A$1:A$10)))+1

Try this...

Data in the range A1:A10

Enter this formula in B1 and copy down to B10:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ABS(A1)=ABS(A$1:A$10)))

I'm sure there is an easy way of doing this ...

I have a list of data values that I want to rank in terms of the
nearest/furthest away from zero. Some of the values are positive and
some are negative.

How do I use RANK such that No 1 is the value (positive or negative)
that is nearest to zero, No 2 is next nearest, etc?

Many thanks.
