Hi all!

Firstly, first time poster (on any forum, not just this one) so please notify if I'm doing something wrong.
I looked for a long time for a solution to this query, but it was just getting confusing and didn't seem to fit my specific sheet. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

BACKGROUND:
I am currently hosting card game tournaments for my friends and I, and I am using Excel to track the data. Specifically the RANK formula.

Players compete in 'Matches' (best 2 of 3 'Games' wins a 'Match').
Two scores are recorded:
1: Players are awarded 3 'Points' for winning a 'Match'
2: A percentage is calculated on how many 'Games' a player wins.

ISSUE:
I want my formula to RANK the players based on their 'Points' (Awarded for winning 'Matches') but in the event of a tie, look up which player has the higher percentage (based on 'Games' won) and RANK them accordingly.

=RANK(J13,$J$13:$J$18,0)+COUNTIF($J$13:J13,J13)-1
This is the formula being used so far.

I am using Excel 2010 on a Windows 7 Laptop.

Sorry if a similar post had been made somewhere else.

In the Image, David and Robert both have the same 'Points' but as Roberts 'Percentage' is higher, I want him ranked above David.
Please ignore the "Percentage (M)" column, that's just there for later statistics, not ranking

Thank you all so much in advance. Please let me know if you need further information.
 

Excel Facts

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
create another column and add the percentage as a fraction to the points and then RANK on this new column

=points+(percentage/100) to give a decimal figure

Wow, so simple!

And with formatting the cells to show no decimal points it does the job hidden behind the scenes! Thank you so much!!!!

EDIT: How do I mark this thread as solved? =)
