Dear all
I would like to rank the value in column A into three groups. Top 40% as large group, bottom 40% as small group and mid 20% as middle group.
Please kindly help me. Excel file is attached here.

Try this in C2:Formula:![]()
Please Login or Register to view this content.
And then copy down to label each value as 'Top','Mid' or 'Small'.
Is that what you wanted?

Try this (add the formula in column C of your excel file):

Dear Amit and Adyteo
Thank you very much for help. When I compared the output using both formula, I have found that the results are not the same. Which one is correct? Why they are not same? Which one is more acceptable. I found some mid group of Mr Amit Formula takes place as small in Adyteo formula.
Please help?

M - the differences are partly due to the definition of the groups.
Should 40% be part of the small group or the middle group?
If you add '=' signs in Adyteo's formula like so:Formula:![]()

both the formulas will give the same result.
The differences are with only 2 values: 117012.55 and 41999.34.
Decide which group you want them in and then use the version of the formula that suits you.
Cheers
Hi Amit
In my database there are 299 sample. Using your formula, I got 119 small and 119 large and rest are medium. But the other formula gives me small 173 observation and mid 7 observation. It does not seem correct to me.

That's interesting. Try this:
in C2, run this formula:Formula:![]()

In D2 run this formula:Formula:![]()

In E2, run this formula:Formula:![]()

and copy the three all the way down.
Do you still see a lot of "CHECK" boxes?
If you do, in F2, run this formula:and copy it all the way down.Formula:

Now in column F, next to the "CHECK" values in column E, I suspect the numbers will be in either close to 40% or close to 60%. Is that correct?
More once you've checked this.
Cheers
