Problems creating an ordered list in Excel

[Collins]

hi, I am making a ladder for a sporting club in excel and in doing so i am using the INDEX and MATCH functions in conjunction with the LARGE function to produce the list. It works well until 2 teams have the same score, then only the first team the computer finds is displayed for 2 positions on the ladder. So the question is how can i make the computer only choose from the remaining teams; or how else could i have it return a ladder with all the teams represented on the ladder.

any assistance appreciated.

Paste some data, otherwise we don't know what you're doing and can't improve it.

Here is one way to try it. Here is the basic set-up:

Cells A2 through A7: Average point totals
Cells B2 through B7: Team names
Cell C2: Rank of the team. Enter this formula, and copy down through cell C7:

=RANK(A2, $A$2:$A$7)

Cell E2: List of the ranks available, from lowest to highest. For example, if two teams are tied for 4th place, there would be no 5th place available. Enter this formula, and copy it down through cell E7:

=SMALL($C$2:$C$7, ROW()-1)

Cell F2: The match number of a particular rank. So, the first time one of the ranks shows up, it gets a match number of 1, the next time it is 2, and so forth. Enter this formula, and copy it down through cell F7:

=IF(E2=E1, F1+1, 1)

Cell G2: Location of the entry to look up. If it's the first (or only match), it will just look up the entry as normal. If it is the second or later time that an entry has come up, it will start its matching from the cell right below the last time that a match came up. So, if there are two 1st place teams, and the first one is in row 4, the second match will start its search from row 5. Enter this formula, and copy it down through cell G7:

=IF(F2=1, MATCH(E2, $C$2:$C$7, 0)+1, MATCH(E2, INDIRECT("C"&G1+1&":C21"), 0)+G1)

Cell H2: Pull the team name corresponding to the row determined in column G. Enter this formula, and copy it down through cell H7:

=INDIRECT("B"&G2)

After all that, column E will list the places for each team, and column H will show which team is in that place.

Does that help at all?

this deffinately helps a lot. I will look to put it into the next version of the sheet because i already found a way of differentiating between equal scores by using

=[average points] + (COUNTIF([average points],$A$2:$A$7))/100

and i used this as the reference to look up the average points and team associated.

however i think that your solution is a bit nicer than the above and so i will look to use it. thank you

In the original equation substitute

$A$2:$A$7+ROW($A$2:$A$7)/10
for $A$2:$A$7

both inside the LARGE and as the second argument of MATCH and convert the formula to a CSE formula.

The array {15.2,21.3,23.4,18.5,23.6,18.7} has no duplicates.
(Change the 10 to a higher power of 10 to accomidate more rows if needed.)
