Hi,
First time here so please forgive any faux pas or poor description
Basically have a spreadsheet to track an athletic competition going of for the purposes of a fantasy game (like fantasy football). The scores from each event are being copied and pasted into a data pages and then other pages pull from that for calculations. I'm using rankings (rank.eq equation) on a calculation tab, and then using those rankings on a leader-board tab find placement via the VLookup function. The issue I'm running into is ties, when two people are ranked the same. I've been playing with this:
=IF(ISERR(VLOOKUP($J17,Men!$A$1:$G$43,7,FALSE)),VLOOKUP($J17,Men!$A$1:$G$43,7,FALSE),VLOOKUP($J16,INDIRECT("Men!A" & LOOKUP(J16,Men!A1:A43)+1):$G$43,7,FALSE))
Where it checks for an error in the Vlookup, if its not an error then it does the VLookup, if it is then if looks up the previous ranking and the VLookup array uses Lookup to find the position of the last rank, increments it by one and starts the new Vlookup there.
I'm not very familiar with indirect, so I think the issues is probably there.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
