Rank duplicate values with COUNTIFS

[thisistyty]

Hi experts,

I have a data set looking at 3 types of fruit, their order dates, and order cost. I want to rank the line items by earliest date. However, since some orders have the same order date, I get duplicate ranks (see two rows of Apples ranked as #4 in the attached image).

I am using a COUNTIFS function to rank the fruit. How can I adjust the formula to avoid duplicate rank values? Should I use something different from COUNTIFS? Is there a way to incorporate the order cost as a second differentiator to help solve this problem?

How about
=COUNTIFS($C:$C,C4,$D:$D,"<"&D4)+COUNTIFS(C$4:C4,C4,D$4:D4,D4)

That worked perfectly. Thank you!
