duplicate rank issue
 

hi all, this is probably simple but I cant figure it out.
I have the following data, currently ranked by Pts. 2 rows show the same Pts
value and are then ranked the same. I need to rank these by Pts and then by a
further set of values to get a rank with no duplications.

Data Pts GD Rank
A 7 12 1
B 3 19 3
C 3 10 3
D 6 9 2

I would want B to be ranked 3 and C to be ranked 4, based on Pts then by GD.
Can this be done? Help!!

Hello,

I suggest to use the COUNTIF + COUNTIF approach as shown under 2. at

Try this:

=RANK(B1,B$1:B$4)+SUMPRODUCT(--(B1=B$1:B$4),--(C1<C$1:C$4))

Copy down as needed.
