Hi, I'm new here (fairly basic Excel skills but trying to improve) so go easy on me!
I'm doing a spreadsheet for a gymnastics competition. I have the following data and I want to highlight the top 3:
[TABLE="width: 183"]
<colgroup><col><col span="2"></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]Name[/TD]
[TD]Bars Score[/TD]
[TD]Bars Ranking[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Holly[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]8.0[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]7[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Emma[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]4.5[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]9[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Elsie[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]4.9[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]8[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Jane[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]8.4[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]3[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Helen[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]8.3[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]5[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Sarah[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]9.9[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]1[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Sam[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]9.9[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]1[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Hayley[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]8.4[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]3[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Imogen[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]3.8[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]10[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Bethany[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]8.3[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]5[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
Here I have used the standard ranking and then I would use conditional formatting to highlight the 'bottom 3' in the "Bars Ranking" column (yes I know I could just highlight the top 3 in the "Bars Score" column.
However, what the gym club want is for ties to be handled differently so that in this example, Sarah and Sam are joint first then Jane and Hayley are joint 2nd (NOT 3rd) and Helen and Bethany are joint 3rd (NOT 5th). Holly would then be classed as 4th etc. I know it doesn't make a lot of sense but this is what I've been asked for.
Any idea how I can achieve this?
Many thanks.
