Hi William

Please try this formula in cell C2 and copy down

C2=(RANK.EQ(A2,$A$2:$A$17,0)+COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A2)-1)*$E$1

Change ranges as per your scenario

Do let me know if you need more help

Instead of providing a specific suggestion for your simple example, I'm going to "throw the kitchen sink" at you. I have a huge collection of "tips" (links to articles). There are many ways to do ranking in Excel. This (I admit LARGE) collection of tips shows you (only) some of the ways you can do ranking in Excel.  Maybe you can find one that is a better fit for your specific need than a "simple" fix.

.

Personally, I'm a recent "religious convert" to PowerQuery and PivotTables. The beauty of those 2 tools is that if you data is constantly changing, it is easy to add new data and update the results after you do the initial setup.

So get ready, here is the collection (sorted alphabetically)...

Recently, I saw this chart on Economist website.

It is trying to depict how various cities rank on livability indexand how they compare to previous ranking (2014 vs 2009). As you can see, this chart is not the best way to visualize “Best places to live”.  Its no fun criticizing someones work. Creating a better chart from this data,now thats awesome.

If you need to develop complex statistical or engineering analyses, you can save steps and time by using the Analysis ToolPak. You provide the data and parameters for each analysis, and the tool uses the appropriate statistical or engineering macro functions to calculate and display the results in an output table. Some tools generate charts in addition to output tables.

Use the Rank and Percentile Tool from the Analysis ToolPak in Excel 2007 and Excel 2010 to create ranking tables2013 05 02             Robbie C Wilson

https://turbofuture.com/computers/Use-the-Rank-and-Percentile-Tool-from-the-Analysis-ToolPak-in-Excel-2007-and-Excel-2010-to-create-ranking-tables

n this hub, I will be investigating the Rank and Percentile Tool. Ranking allows you to rank all your data in order from highest to lowest and Percentile allows you to easily categorise your data into percentiles such as the top 25%, top 50% etc. o illustrate how to use this tool, I will work through an example. In my example, I have a class of 30 students. I have just got their latest results and want to rank them and assign them grades based on their ranking within the class. The top 10% get an A, the next 20% get a B, the next 20% get a C and the remainder get a D grade.

Conditional Ranking In Excel Using Sumproduct Functionhttps://excelchamps.com/blog/conditional-ranking-sumproduct-rank-if/

Have you ever faced a situation where you have to rank values by using some specific criteria. And if yes, then how you solved that problem, because you know there is no RANKIF function in Excel?

Let me tell you something, whenever you want to create a conditional ranking based on a specific criterion or category wise ranking, the best way is to use SUMPRODUCT Function.v

Excel rankings with ordinal numbers, joint, equal and more

https://office-watch.com/2018/excel-rankings-ordinal-numbers-joint-equal/

Here’s a look at two things that you’d expect Excel to handle quickly and easily, but doesn’t.   Showing a ranking of items with equal ranks shown (3^rd^ equal etc) and ordinal numbers (1^st^, 2^nd^, 3^rd^ etc) or ordinal names (first, second, third etc). All are possible in Excel but strangely not provided by Microsoft directly.

Excel’s Rank/Rank.EQ function to show order, first, second etc.https://office-watch.com/2018/excels-rank-rank-eq-function-show-order-first-second-etc/

Excel has a way to rank a series of values, showing which is top, middle and bottom. As usual, what appears to be a simple thing has extra features to cope with the real world like equal placings.

Here’s a simple ranking.  As you can see, Excel has ranked the Value entries from 1 to 9. The Rank column goes from highest value to lowest for things like exam results, ‘Reversed Rank’ goes from lowest to highest for races, golf scores etc.

Have you ever heard of the term "Rank and Yank"? It's a term that describes the process that some corporations use to rank their employees against each other and then get rid of the lower ranking ones. So the ones at the bottom get yanked! It's like the reality show Survivor! Well if you wanted to be an armchair judge and do some ranking with data you have the handy-dandy tool of Excel to make this happen. Let's Rank those bad, bad companies! This video show three examples of how to rank items based on a grouping.

Highlighting Outliers in your Data with the Tukey Methodhttp://datapigtechnologies.com/blog/index.php/highlighting-outliers-in-your-data-with-the-tukey-method/

I just recently completed a project that required a set of “Rank and Stack” reports for the purposes of identifying poor performers and recognizing good performers. It became clear that some of the data points had values that were so far removed from the norm that they were throwing off the ranking.

I used John Tukey’s method of leveraging the Interquartile Range. His method is applicable to most ranges since it isn’t dependent on distributional assumptions. It also ignores the mean and standard deviation, making it resistant to being influenced by the extreme values in the range.

Key influencers visualization     2019 10 21

The key influencers visual helps you understand the factors that drive a metric you're interested in. It analyzes your data, ranks the factors that matter, and displays them as key influencers. For example, suppose you want to figure out what influences employee turnover, which is also known as churn. One factor might be employment contract length, and another factor might be employee age.

PivotTable- Ranks and Exceptions that “Bubble Up” to Subtotals(PivotTable)       2013 09 17

https://powerpivotpro.com/2013/09/ranks-and-exceptions-that-bubble-up-to-subtotals/

The blue part of the formula, loosely translated, does this:

For each product that is “valid” in the current measure cell, go find its rank amongst all products.  Then return the lowest such rank from all of those products.

So, in essence, every product in the Products table gets ranked 3 times – once at each level of the pivot.  Don’t be shocked if this sometimes results in slow pivots.

Now imagine you write another measure.  One that detects whether something is going wrong down in the details and then “bubbles that up” to a higher level.

Quick post today, continuing the saga of Anakin Skywalker.  An extension to the bubble up ranks technique.

Let’s say you have a measure. Doesn’t matter what it is or how it’s calculated really, except that it reports on whether there’s a problem.  It returns 1 (or Yes or True) if there’s a problem, and 0 (or No/False) if there isn’t.  Or maybe it returns a “regular” number, but when it crosses a certain line, your business has decided that is Bad.

we show you how to build an auto SUM and RANK using Power Query in Microsoft Excel. Szilvia takes you through setting up your data, pulling it into Power Query, promoting the first row to the header, unpivoting the results, and then combining them with group by.

0:00 intro

1:09 Start – Describe data source, a “scorecard”

1:20 Select data to make Named range

1:44 Load data to PowerQuery Data tab > Get Data command > From Other Sources option > Blank Query

1:58 Open PowerQuery editor, Rename to query to something

2:30 Load data to PQ  Excel.CurrentWorkbook(), shows schema of data in Worksheet, in this case the named range “scorecard”

3:05 Set filter to keep out any new data not in the named range using Filter > Text Ranges > Equals > Drop to down select value “scorecard”

3:30 Right click on “Content” column > select “Remove Others Columns”

3:40 Expand “Content” to show all data in the range

4:00 Replace generated column names with column names in first row: Home tab > Transform group > “Use First Row as Headers” drop down

4:20 Unpivot: Click team (name) column, Transform tab > Any Column group > Unpivot Column command > Unpivot Other Columns

4:55 almost ready to total, no “SumIfs()” in PQ, use GroupBy: Home tab > Transform group > Group By command > Group by: Team column, New column name: Running Total, Operation: Sum, Column: Value

5:50 Now have a collapsed table of score sums, “Running Total”

6:00 Before Ranking, have to Sort running totals, Click on DropDown in column heading, select sort

6:22 Add rank column using add Index Column: Add column tab > General group > Index Column drop down > From 1

6:50 Rename Index Colmn: Rank

6:58 Close and Load back to worksheet: Home tab > Close & Load > to a table on current worksheet

7:30 Update: change values in data range, right click on PQ generated Rank table, select “Refresh”
