Default Rank problem

i have the following formula to rank a column of data
=RANK(I15,$I$15:$I$314,0) but the problem i have is that if the data is
duplicated then it returns a duplicate rank. ie..

DATA Rank
123 3
134 2
143 1
134 2
111 4

how do i get the formula to no duplicate the rank?

For your posted example what would you want to see as a result?

Ah I think I see, rank wouldn't produce the result in your example so perhaps
that's what you want to see so try this.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(I15<$I$15:$I$314),1/COUNTIF($I$15:$I$314,$I$15:$I$314&""))+1

it still returns duplicate numbers if there is matching data in column I.

Yes it does it replicates what was in your first post so I ask again change
the question marks to what you want to see on your worklsheet

123 ?
134 ?
143 ?
134 ?
111 ?

sorry mike, i don't think i'm explaining this well. Think i have got brain
freeze from this spreadsheet lol. I've changed the question marks in your
post to reflect the results i want.
as you can see 134 shows twice in the list so instead of returning the same
rank (which would have been 2 for both figures) i want it to show 2 and 3.

The formula =RANK(I15,$I$15:$I$314,0) is copied down G15 to G314. I want it
to rank the data in I15:I314 from 1 to 314 without returning a duplicate rank
value even if the data in column I has matches in it.

Hi Charno,

You could insert a helper column J
Then put this in J15
=I15-ROW()/10^10
and drag it down to the end of your data

Then your rank formula in K would be
=RANK(J15,$J$15:$J$314,0)

You can then hide your helper column J.

This will return in your example the first occurence
of 134 as 2 and the second as 3.
