Hi,

I'm trying to compile a "leaderboard" for our weekly quizzes, which since the start of the pandemic have become our mainstay social activity (and good fun they are too). It's only among friends but can get pretty competitive! I have produced a spreadsheet to record the weekly scores, but want to produce an overall ranking, over time, showing which team has come in which place in a given week (based on the total score for that week).

So the "output" I'm looking to produce shows for a given quiz date basis which team has come 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th (i.e. the actual scores are immaterial - it's only the ranking that matters).

Can anyone please help me on my way? I've tried playing around with pivot tables but am getting mightily confused! Probably a really simple "problem" to solve but I'm not really sure how to go about, and any help would be appreciated! :-)

My source data is like this:

One final, final ? question ... What if you wanted a week by week cumulative "overall" score (instead of only the "current overall" as shown in N2:R2)? Maybe in some extra columns to the right of column R, showing the calculation being performed in R2:N2?

Many thanks Fluff! There's no way I would have been able to work that out for myself and I really appreciate your help. Folks like you, who so selflessly give their expertise for the benefit of others, make MrExcel such a great forum. (y)
