Default ranking numbers in a column

I have 100 (100 rows) with different numbers all in one column. I have
ranked them in another column by largest to smallest in the past. The 100
numbers change from time to time. I would like the rankings to automatically
update. I wish not to sort. Is there a formula?

Thanks, Darryl

Will there be "ties" in the data? That is, duplicate values?

1. Assume your data is in the range:-

C 2 to C 18

2. In cell E 2 (for example) type:-

=RANK(C2,C2:C18)

3. Copy the above formula from:-

E 3 to E 18 inclusive.

Your data is now ranked accordingly.

Sorry, range should be fixed so:-

=RANK(C2,$C$2:$C$18)

Apologies.
