Using Rank with ties and spliting the differance

I am sure that this can be improved upon, but here is one way

=(RANK(B1,$B$1:$B$40,1)*COUNTIF($B$1:$B$40,B1)+IF(COUNTIF($B$1:$B$40,B1)>1,S
UMPRODUCT(ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COUNTIF($B$1:$B$40,B1)-1))),0))/COUNTIF($B$1:$B$
40,B1)

Here's another way...

C1, copied down:

=AVERAGE(IF($B$1:$B$10=B1,(COUNTIF($B$1:$B$10,"<"&B1)+1)+(COUNTIF(OFFSET(
$B$1:$B$10,0,0,ROW($B$1:$B$10)-ROW($B$1)+1),B1)-1)))

....confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Another solution could be done this way... In cell C1

=RANK(B1,$B$1:$B$40,1)+(COUNTIF($B$1:$B$40,B1)<>1)*((COUNTIF($B$1:$B$40,B1)-
1)/2)
