Greatest to smallest
I have a Excel spread sheet of emplyees sales. For this example lets say that
cells A1 to A10 have emplyoee sales for the month. I need to calculate their commissions but the commissions are based on the emplyee sales ranking. The top seller gets 2% 2nd place gets 1% 3rd place gets 0.5% and the rest get ..25%. How can I have Excel calculate the biggest number then the 2nd biggest then the 3rd biggest etc... Thank you!! |

Use the LARGE() function or the RANK() function Using your A1:A10 example then: =LARGE(A1:A10,1) yields the same result as =MAX(A1:A10,1) =LARGE(A1:A10,2) yields the 2nd highest =LARGE(A1:A10,3) yields the 3rd highest etc. If you want to have the results in an adjacent column then in B1 type: =RANK(A1,$A$1:$A$10) and copy it down to B10 -- Cutter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cutter's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=9848 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=490568 |

Check the function help for RANK and/or LARGE. Given the way your data is
organized, I think RANK will be more helpful. "Dug" wrote: I have a Excel spread sheet of emplyees sales. For this example lets say that cells A1 to A10 have emplyoee sales for the month.

With sales in A1:A10, enter this formula in B1, and copy down to get the
commissions for each sales value: =IF(RANK(A1,$A$1:$A$10)3,A1*0.0025,A1*CHOOSE(RANK (A1,$A$1:$A$10),0.02,0.01, 0.005)) -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Dug" wrote in message ...
