    Ranking Numbers

    Hi

    Running into a little problem. I have a data set as follows

    A 2
    B 2
    C 2
    D 7
    E 8
    F 4
    G 9
    H 10

    I am using the function trimmean to find the average of the middle 50%. But I want to know what numbers are contributing to this data. For example, what is the middle 50% of the data ( in the example above, excluding the top 2 and low 2 numbers). I have used the "rank" function, but I fall into problems because there can be multiple #1 ranks, ect.

    Any ideas?

    This formula will rank A1:A10 without repeating

    =RANK(A1,$A$1:$A$10)+COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1)-1

    copied down
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
