    rank formula problem

    Hi

    A
    2.00 8.00 5.00 5.00 3.00 9.00 =RANK(F1,A1:F1,1) =6


    The rank formula returns an incorrect result when in the specified range are duplicates.
    The result would be 5 not 6 for F1.

    Re: rank formula problem

    It's not incorrect: that is standard ranking practice. If you have two equal fourth places, the next ranking is sixth (fifth is missed out). If there is a three-way tie for fourth place, the next ranking will be seventh and so on.
