</tbody>[/TABLE]

in column D
Code:
=RANK(b2,$b$2:$b$8)

which does fine until i get to JACK, RANDY, and Brandon and all are raked number 5. I need a tie breaker based on the oldest. of the 3

any suggestion on what to add to Column D formula to check the DOB if employee hired on the same day or any other way to go about doing this

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
employees based on hire date so when using the =RANK(b2,$b$2:$b$8) i get

Desired results should be as follows

[TD]1/10/1993[/TD]
[TD]8/23/1975[/TD]
[TD]7
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

because Jack is Older than Randy and Brandon he will be 5th place in rank and Randy is older than Brandon he will follow jack in the ranking. So Ranking Based on Hire Date but if employees are hired on the same day than to rank them based on age.

hope that clarifies
