I am trying to weight a series of results and the obtain an overall rank.
Here is an example... locations Result 1 Result 2 Result 3 location1 515 89% 4.5% location2 431 72% 2.3% location3 535 n/a 5.0% Weighting... Result 1 = 30% Result 2 = 50% Result 3 = 20% Total - 100% What I am trying to do is determine which location is ranked the highest overall. I inititally thought since the results varied in their number format that I would rank each result by location. ex: Location1 Result 1 Ranked = 2 I then took the rank and * by the weight. ex: Location1 Result 1 Ranked 2*30% I then did that to each category and added the weighting together and divided by 100% I'm honestly not sure if I was correct in the mathmatics of the formula. I also need to know how to not have a result count if the location did not have a result. ex: location3 result 2 = n/a. I do not want that to count against them and need to know how to omit that from the equation. And lastly, If there is an easier way to obtain this result, I would love to know. I feel I'm complicating this process when I feel there is a way to simplify the process. |
