RANK - Remove repeated ranks for sorting
Hello,
MS EXCEL 2003 on XP PRO. for the overall simplicity of my spreadsheet, I want to use a rank as a unique identifier so I use VLOOKUPS. My problem is that RANK() is VERY likely to return repeated ranks (3 second places for instance) and thus mess up my whole day. I found that the correction offered in F1 Help =(COUNT(AB:AB) + 1 - RANK($AB4,$AB:$AB,0)- RANK($AB4,$AB:$AB,1))/2 to produce the same effect. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to rank say, {1,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,6,7} with out repeating the rank? (largest is Rank = 1)? {10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1} are the ranks for each number in the set above Thank you! -- BlueWolverine MSE - Mech. Eng. Go BLUE! |

=RANK(A1,$A$1:$A$10)+COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1)-1

If the #s are in A2:A11, enter this in B2:
=RANK(A2,$A$2:$A$11,0) and ARRAY-ENTER this in C2: =SUM((A2<$A$2:$A$11)*1)+1+COUNTIF($B$1:B1,B2) then fill B2:C2 down to C11. Your answers are in C2:C11. HTH "BlueWolverine" wrote in message ...

=RANK($AB3,$AB:$AB,0)+IF(COUNTIF($AB:$AB,$AB3)1,A 3/1000000,0)
This works better, then format as number with zero decimal places. column A is just 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 etc. -- BlueWolverine MSE - Mech. Eng. Go BLUE!

Hello, I suggest to use Countif instead of RankÖ http://sulprobil.com/html/rank.html Regards, Bernd Also yields close (but not exact) results as requested by the OP. Try this: =COUNTIF($A$4:$A$8,"="&A4)-COUNTIF($A$4:A4,A4)+1 instead of this: =COUNTIF($A$4:$A$8,""&A4)+COUNTIF($A$4:A4,A4) |
