How to order numbers
I have a column of around 25 numbers ranging in value from 0 to 50 with some
duplications. I would like the next column to show their order IE: highest number is listed as 1 next highest 2, etc. I do NOT want to sort the numbers into increasing value. Would be nice but not necessary if ties would carry same result number. 23 - 2 46 - 1 11 - 3 22-3 etc. Is their a formula to do this in Excel standard 2007? Thank you Mel |

You can use the RANK function. Assuming your numbers are in A1:A100, put
this formula in B1 and copy down... =RANK(A1,A$1:A$100) -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "shakey" wrote in message ... I have a column of around 25 numbers ranging in value from 0 to 50 with some duplications.
