    Please have a look at the attachment. It uses the rank, match and index functions.

    If you are one of the competitors then good luck.

    Hello again,
    Sorry to go back to this again,your spreadsheet is perfect but if you ever seen the competitions on tv the person with fastest time in an event gets alocatted points,for example if strongman9 wins an event he gets 10 points and 8 for second etc.Is it possible to include a points system with each event and also keep the ranking.If its not,i'll get around it some how but thanks for your help anyway.

    Try the attached.

    The points system means that ties are more likely and I've had to add a bit of complexity including an event driven macro to sort the table.

    Hopefully you will be able to see what is going on.

    Re: ranking in excel

    hello,
    hopefully mr.mrice will not mind replying to this,your attachment on the 18/8,which is perfect i can follow everything but how did you get column R to correspond with column S.im sorry i am only getting back to this now,but i tried to remake your sheet but columns R,S dont correspond like yours.like if strongman1(sm1) has 30pts strongman2(sm2) =25pts and if sm2 then wins the next event and gets 10 extra pts then goes to 35.he should then leap frog sm1 in column R like in your sheet,but in mine it doesnt.tell me what am i doing wrong.Thank you.

    I'm guessing that your copy doesn't have the short event driven macro which sits on the sheet1 tab in the VBA editor (Shift F11). This sorts the range whenever there is a change made to the sheet.

    It should be..
