I've gotten great advice from this group in the past, so I thought I'd
give it another shot with this issue.

I have a formula:

With Sheets("data")
.Range(.Cells(2, lastColCopied + 1), .Cells(rowCol(0),
lastColCopied + 1)).FormulaArray = _
"=percentrank(if(periodRange2=RC1,R2C[-1]:R" & rowCol(0) &
"C[-1]),RC[-1])"
End With

I have two columns. One column is 'period', where I store a string such
as "Q3-2004". The other column is the data for that period. There are
more than one entry for a given period, ie:

A B
Period Data
Q3-2004 3.232
Q3-2004 1.239
Q3-2004 5.326
Q3-2003 5.55
Q3-2003 7.89
...
150 rows


The formula above is supposed to go through the list, pick out all the
data elements with the SAME period, and return their PERCENTRANK in the
column next to it.

The way I do this w/o vba is that I select the cell in the column next
to the data, write =percentrank(if(periodRange=$A2,B$2:B$150),B2). I
press CTRL+SHIFT to make it an array formula. This returns the
percentrank for the ONE value next to it based on the group of all
values in the same period. I can then autofill the entire column from
that value.

The problem with my VBA code above is that it gets confused about which
array I am using. When I use the VBA code, I get one big array with all
the same values in it. I cannot change any element of that big array,
like I can when I do it the regular way and autofill.

What am I missing on this one?

Thanks in advance,
Andrew
