Using rank to select top marks
I have recently found and started using the RANK function which I have found really useful. I am now in a situation where I need to rank a set of 8 test results and then select the best 4 and then transfer them to another area so that they can be totalled, averaged etc.
Can anyone please advise on the best way of doing this. Thank you. Ruth |

Using rank to select top marks
Try something like this:
With A2:A9 containing the scores and D2:D5 contains the series 1 through 4 Then these formulas return the top 4 (largest) scores E2: =LARGE($A$2:$A$9,D2) Copy that formula down through E5 Is that something you can work with? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "ruthhicks999" wrote: I have recently found and started using the RANK function which I have found really useful.
