ranking over a sum
is there a way to use the rank function over a sum of two cells (well, columns) without creating a third column with the sum in it? so, if i have column a and column b both filled with numbers, i want to assign a rank based on a + b without doing something like rank(c1,c:c) where c is a + b. -- dreamz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dreamz's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26462 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=535591 |
ranking over a sum
Assuming that A2:B10 contains the data, try...
C2, copied down: =SUMPRODUCT(--(A2+B2<A$2:A$10+B$2:B$10))+1 Hope this helps!

One way
=MATCH(A1+B1,LARGE($A$1:$A$10+$B$1:$B$10,ROW(INDIR ECT("1:"&ROWS($A$1:$A$10)) )),0) which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not just Enter. -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from email address if mailing direct) "dreamz" wrote in message ... is there a way to use the rank function over a sum of two cells (well, columns) without creating a third column with the sum in it? so, if i have column a and column b both filled with numbers, i want to assign a rank based on a + b without doing something like rank(c1,c:c) where c is a + b. -- dreamz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dreamz's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26462 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=535591 |
