How to break ties in the RANK function

Excel 2003
I am using the RANK function to rank the data in several rows. There are some times ties in the result.
I want to break that tie by taking the greatest value in a different cell in that row
Greatest value wins the tie.
same situation if there are multiple ties (4 "RANK"'s of position 2)

Any help here will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
