I'm trying to work out a formula for ranking but the data i need to rank contains a ton of ties. basically i have a 3 way tie for 1st, a 11 way tie for 2nd, a 8 way tie for 3rd, a 9 way tie for 4th, etc and its making my ranking look confusing. rather than the 4th place rank showing as "4", its returning 23 because there are 22 values ranked 1st through 3rd.

current rank

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
If you have data in B2:B24 then use this formula in C2

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(B$2:B$24>B2,B$2:B$24),B$2:B$24),1))+1

confirm with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER and copy down

This will rank the highest values as 1, if the lowest values should be 1 then change > to <

Barry,

I believe it should be "<" instead of ">".

EDIT:
Sorry, missed your last remark.
