Hello everybody
We maintain school marks database in excel. Students belongs to different
calsses from 1 to 10th and different sections (say 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b etc). The
student id no is the primary kery of the database. The id no consists of
class-section and No (1A10). I want a function that ranks the students on
their class-section (say in 1A - first class A-section the ranks of each
student). Likewise for all the sections. The database is sorted on ID no.
For 10th class "X" is chosen for class number.
With regards
Sridhar

Sridhar,

=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$1000=A2)*($B$2:$B$1000B2))+1

where column A has section, and column B has the score score. Put this in row 2, then copy down to
match your database.

Sridhar,

In your case, you could use a UDF (code below). Copy the code into a module in your workbook, then
use it like

=URank($C$2:$C$100,C2,$A$2:$A$100,A2)

Then copy down to match your table, where your data table is as you posted.

If this table were sorted by Section in whatever order then by Marks in
descending order, and this table spanned columns A to E with column headings
in row 1 and the first row of student records in row 2, the rank formulas
could be simplified to

D2:
=IF(C2=0,0,IF(A2<A1,1,IF(C2=C1,D1,D1+1)))

Fill down as needed. If this table would be sorted only by section but
within section student records could be in any order, you'd need to use

D2:
=IF(C2=0,0,SUMPRODUCT((INDEX(C$2:C$1001,MATCH(A2,A $2:A$1001,0))
:INDEX(C$2:C$1001,MATCH(A2,A$2:A$1001,0)+COUNTIF(A $2:A$1001,A2)-1)C2)
/(COUNTIF(INDEX(C$2:C$1001,MATCH(A2,A$2:A$1001,0)): INDEX(C$2:C$1001,
MATCH(A2,A$2:A$1001,0)+COUNTIF(A$2:A$1001,A2)-1),INDEX(C$2:C$1001,
MATCH(A2,A$2:A$1001,0)):INDEX(C$2:C$1001,MATCH(A2, A$2:A$1001,0)
+COUNTIF(A$2:A$1001,A2)-1))+(INDEX(C$2:C$1001,MATCH(A2,A$2:A$1001,0))
:INDEX(C$2:C$1001,MATCH(A2,A$2:A$1001,0)+COUNTIF(A $2:A$1001,A2)-1)<=C2)))+1)

Modify the range addresses for your actual table.

You'd be much better off sorting the table by section AND by marks and using
the simpler formula.

Thank you very much Mr. Bernie. This UDF works for my data. My sincere
thanks to you

Sorry Mr. Bernie to trouble you once again. I need a little alteration in
the UDF. If the total is zero, then the rank is zero or blank

Sridhar,

In your case, you could use a UDF (code below). Copy the code into a
module in your workbook,
then use it like

=URank($C$2:$C$100,C2,$A$2:$A$100,A2)

Then copy down to match your table, where your data table is as you
posted.

rSection As Range) As Integer

Dim myUScores() As Double

Dim iFirst As Integer
Dim iPos As Integer

iFirst = Application.Match(rSection.Value, rSections, False)

ReDim myUScores(1 To Application.CountIf(rSections, rSection.Value))
URank = 1

myUScores(1) = rScores(iFirst).Value
iPos = 2
For i = iFirst + 1 To rSections.Cells.Count

Hello everybody
We maintain school marks database in excel. Students belongs to
different
calsses from 1 to 10th and different sections (say 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b
etc). The
student id no is the primary kery of the database. The id no
consists of
class-section and No (1A10). I want a function that ranks the
students on
their class-section (say in 1A - first class A-section the ranks of
each
student). Likewise for all the sections. The database is sorted
on ID no.
For 10th class "X" is chosen for class number.
With regards
Sridhar

Thank Mr. Bernie for the Code. It works well
Regards
Sridhar
