Classification
Hello,
I am trying to classify 5 columns of scores into groups based on the dominant score in each row. for example, if column A2 has the highest score out of A2:E2, then the classification number should be 1. likewise if E2 has the highest score out of A2:E2, then the classification number should be 5 any thoughts? |
