Ranking
Hello folks,
I have a list of about 350 sales reps. I like to be able to rank them automatically based on the numbers that appear in front of their name in column B. These numbers are in percent with one decimal point accuracy. some of the reps of course have the same percent so they need to be given the same ranking. Example Name percent Rank Sharif 78.4% 1 Aljandro 66.9% 2 Flora 66.9% 2 Yusef 59% 3 John 48% 4 Anna 48% 4 What formul in the column for ranking can I use to automate this please? |
If there are ties for second place then there is no third place
assume the values are in B1:B6 =RANK(B1,$B$1:$B$6,) copy down -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Thrava" wrote in message ... Hello folks, I have a list of about 350 sales reps.

Try the formula and see. RANK() returns 1,2,2,4,5,5 as the ranks for
your data. Jerry Thrava wrote: Peo, thank you for your help on this.

Think of it in terms of prize money.
2 people tied for second equally share the combined second and third place reward, leaving the fourth place prize money to be awarded to the next (4th) place holder. It wouldn't be fair if they had to split second place money, where the next place holder would receive a larger (3rd) individual, undivided prize, even though he came in with a lesser score then the other two. -- Regards, RD -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit ! -------------------------------------------------------------------- "Thrava" wrote in message ...

You can force it to have unique ranks with
=RANK(B1,$B$1:$B$6)+COUNTIF($B$1:B1,B1)-1 -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Jerry W. Lewis" wrote in message ... Try the formula and see.
