Sort in ascending order multiple rows (more than one rows), and copypaste it

[egotajcs]

Hi guys,

I like to solve my excel problems on my own, but sometime I stuck into a problem which I cannot solve.
I have a big database and I would like to sort prices in ascending order. But only inside for every four, five or six (or basically, any) rows. As I show it in the printscreen – and uploading the excel – I could do it for the first six-packed row. But I cannot copy-paste the formula downward for the pack (which is only 5 rows).
The date can be helpful to separate the packs.

I only hope I could tell you guys, what I would like to do.

I think, I should use arrays (CTRL-Shift-Enter), but that thing is over my brain sadly.

Sorry, you're absolutely right, it is rather confusing. The original goal to sort it out the price within the same times (so there are packs, each pack has some items with price) which item was the cheapest, which one was the second cheapest, which was the third cheapst, and so on.
And I started to try to solve it used 2 temporary column, which columns sorting out the prices and show the ascending order.

I show it in red text in this screenshot, I write column 'H' by hand: You know, the 'D' and 'E' columns are just helping to sorting the prices, originally I just want a fourth column after the date (col. 'A'), the No. (col. 'B') and price (col. 'C') which shows which one is the lowest, the second lowest, etc.

Here it is the excel file: https://anonfile.com/IaV6P9b5ba/results_probe_Formula_for_array_fav_GLITCH_WORKING.xlsx

Let's see the raw 8-12: the first raw is 270, which is the third lowest price within the selling time: 3. The next one, which is 300, is the fourth: 4. 75 is the second lowest: 2. 60 is the lowest, cheapest item: 1. And 415 is the last one in this time range: 5.
So the H8:H12 is: 3, 4, 2, 1, 5.

Oh...you want something much more simpler than what i was supposing.
You just need to rank the prices inside each group. So no need of any auxiliary column.

To get the results you have shown in red, try this regular formula in H2 copied down
=COUNTIFS(A$2:A$37,A2,C$2:C$37,"<"&C2)+COUNTIFS(A$2:A2,A2,C$2:C2,C2)
confirmed with just Enter

Thank you, Marcelo.
It means, I was stupid in the thread's opening post I didn't clarify, what is the main goal I would like to achieve, and I misleaded everybody.

Anyway, thank you so much, this is it!
