I have a spreadsheet with values in a single row 16 columns wide, I want to
give the cells below a position ie 1st 2nd 3rd... dependant on the values

2.1 5.1 3.2 1.6
3rd 1st 2nd 4th

As the values can change, the position need to automatically change as well..

Assuming your values are in A1:D1,
Put this formula in A2 and copy over to D2...........

=RANK(A1,$A$1:$D$1,0)

or for the reverse,

=RANK(A1,$A$1:$D$1,1)

That works fine, Thanks

If the cells are not next to each other but in the same row how can you
modify the formula

Say the cells instead of A1:D1 were A1,C1,E1, and G1.........I would make a
Non-contiguious RangeName of those cells, called
"NCRange".........(highlight the cells while holding down the Ctrl button,
then Insert Name Define and type NCRange in the upper window OK)

then make the formula in A2
=RANK(A1,NCRange)

Then just copy and paste the formula to C2, E2, and G2
