rank scores show ties and add top four scores
Trying to rank a list of scores this way. So it will show the ties.
Then I need to add the top 4 and sum together. number ranking 2 1 3 2 3 2 5 3 6 4 so on First problem However using the rank formula does not give this result I've tried something like this =SUM(INDEX(LARGE(F6:F29,ROW(1:4)),0)) this gives me number rank 2 1 3 2 3 3 5 4 6 5 Then not sure how to grab tthe top four I tried |

rank scores show ties and add top four scores
Rob,
This isn't clear. The 'normal' rank formula for those numbers =RANK(A1,$A$1:$A$5,1) returns this 2 1 3 2 3 2 5 4 6 5 Using the array formula =SUMPRODUCT(--(A1$A$1:$A$5),1/COUNTIF($A$1:$A$5,$A$1:$A$5&""))+1 returns what I think you want which is 2 1 3 2 3 2 5 3 6 4 I know don't understand what you want to sum. If it's the top 4 of the original data then why bother with rank at all why not simply sum the top 4 =SUM(LARGE(A1:A5, {1,2,3,4})) or using the array formula =SUM(LARGE(A1:A5,ROW(1:4))) This is an array formula which must be entered by pressing CTRL+Shift+Enter 'and not just Enter. If you do it correctly then Excel will put curly brackets 'around the formula {}. You can't type these yourself. If you edit the formula 'you must enter it again with CTRL+Shift+Enter.

rank scores show ties and add top four scores
Great Help
Second question with the =SUM(LARGE(A1:A5, {1,2,3,4})) Can I use conditonal format to hightlight the values that are used? I am using this to add the top four scores in a list and would like to hightlight them? Thanks Rob "Mike H" wrote: Rob, This isn't clear.
