I have a list of test scores that have been submitted by some students across 3 colleges. I need to indicate which of the test scores are in the top 5% of the scores that were submitted for each college.
I need to do this without needing to sort or group the data in the sheet.

Any help would be much appreciated.

College A has 10.
5% of 10 is 0.5
one student counts 1 ( = 1/10 = 10%)
How 1 student can be in top 5%?
Could you add manual output in column E?
I just give a shot to column E: E3 to count how many students in same college those score greater than that student in B3 (its also rank number).
