Hi Everyone,
I was wonder how to do this,

its our end of year staff awards show, we have had quizes etc durring the year and now we have the results,

so i need to work out how to quickly workout the order everyone has come,

its quite simple i just dont knoe how to do it,
its like this

16 names two columns for results
Score and rating

so highest score wins, down to lowest score,
but when two or more get the same score we use rating to decide who wins,
so all i need is a formula to give me the order everyone has come in?

the table bellow explains

NameResultScoreIf i use RANK i get something like thisNumber? (this is what im trying to get
Bob1112024
sue2221567
Tom33324so 24 is highest11
Sally2322023
Jonh7572022
Jim1211755
Jem2341566
Len551010 is lowest88
so i cant have 3 = "2" and 2="6" so we need to then rank these by the higest Result like above
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
One way is create a helper column which is score + (rating/1000) and rank on that new column
so you get 24.333, 20.757, 20.232, 20.111 etc

It’s just one solution
if you have a second tie breaker you can also add it in but you need to divide that by a higher number
score + (tb1/1000) + (tb2/1000000)
I only chose 1000 because your numbers were high, it get a little bit trickier if one of the tie breaks is lowest value then you might have to look at ((1000-tb3)/1000) etc
