Default Ranking across worksheets

Sorry for the late reply - I have been trying lots of different ideas. It's
easy to pull in the metrics' values in descending order using LARGE, but much
harder to pull in the associated employee names. This is particularly true if
two or more employees ever have the same value for a metric. So far, the
simplest solution still looks like the best. On the new sheet, for each
metric:

- add a direct reference to the cell on each sheet that contains the
employee's name
- add a direct reference to the cell on each sheet that contains the
employee's value for that metric
- add a RANK formula to compute the rank of each employee's metric value
- sort the data for that metric by the RANK field

I have created a simple example workbook. You can download it he

Not fancy, but easy to do, avoids complicating factors like duplicate
values, and it works. Hope this helps,

Hutch

Tom,

Perfect, that worked well.

How can i list the ranking order of employees on a new worksheet? I have
added an additional column of ranking info on everyone of the 24 worksheets,
is there a way for me to reference that data on a new worksheet, for instance:

Metric # 1
Employee 1 Rank 1
Employee 2 Rank 2
Employee 3 Rank 3

Metric # 2
Employee 1 Rank 1
Employee 2 Rank 2
Employee 3 Rank 3

The metric data and the employee name exist on each of the worksheets, i
have to imagine there is a way to do this...

Thanks again!!
