Rankings

[Element121279]

Hey,

I need a formula that will rank a string of numbers in order from 1 to 11 (with 11 being the best). Generally, it's as simple as using the RANK function, but I need ties to be calculated differently.

In this example, I would need the formula to display the rankings as such in the events of ties.

Score-Rank
50-11
45-10
40-8
40-8
40-8
30-5.5
30-5.5
22-4
17-3
15-2
13-1

Can anyone help?

This one I *do* understand...

Using a method where duplicate values are incremented, so there are no gaps in the ranking...
Where there ARE duplicates...average their incremented ranks.

Example:
<TABLE style="WIDTH: 272pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=362 border=0><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" width=64><COL style="WIDTH: 104pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 5046" width=138><COL style="WIDTH: 120pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 5851" width=160><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD class=xl63 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; WIDTH: 48pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: #f0f0f0; HEIGHT: 15pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" width=64 height=20>Score
