I am looking to be able to put values in the order of 1 to 5 in a range of
cells based on the order of values in another range - as an example the
values in range (row) one may be 12,36,25,40,19 which would result in this
being shown in the 'order' range as 5,2,3,1,4. Hope this makes sense

Hi,

Let's assume these numbers are in A1 to E1. Put this in A2 and drag right

=RANK(A1,$A$1:$E$1)

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Suppose you had those values 12, 36, 25, 40, 19 in cells A1 to E1,
then you can put this formula in A2:

=RANK(A1,$A1:$E1)

and copy this across to E2 to give you the numbers you require.

Hope this helps.
