    Rank - Disregard the zero values and write the formula for values in another worksheet

    I need to write a formula to rank rows of data with some of them having zero values that I want the rank to completely ignore. The formula needs to reference data in a different worksheet as well. Currently the formula for one row reads:
    =RANK(RANK_MILES!B3,RANK_MILES!$B$3:$J$3)

    There are nine vendors in this case with the values identified in columns B3 through J3. However, some of them did not submit any values. In this case, I do not want those without any values to even be considered in the ranking.

    Try this

    =IF(OR(Rank_Miles!B3=0, Rank_Miles!B3=""), "",RANK(Rank_Miles!B3,Rank_Miles!$B$3:$J$3))

    To perform a conditonal Rank, use SUMPRODUCT:

    This gives a lower rank to lower numbers.

    =IF(RANK_MILES!B3=0,"",SUMPRODUCT((RANK_MILES!$B$3:$J$3<>0)*(RANK_MILES!$B$3:$J$3<RANK_MILES!B3))+1)

    Re: Rank - Disregard the zero values and write the formula for values in another worksheet

    I went with a similar formula to Bernie:

    =IF(RANK_MILES!B3<>0,((SUMPRODUCT((RANK_MILES!$B$3:$J$3>0)*(RANK_MILES!$B$3:$J$3>B3))+1)+COUNTIFS(RANK_MILES!$B$3:B3,B3,RANK_MILES!$B$3:B3,"<>"&B3)-1)+1,"")

    Re: Rank - Disregard the zero values and write the formula for values in another worksheet

    Your formula does not ignore the 0 values when considering the population the value is ranked against - it just does not rank 0 values. And ranking against zero is only an issue if the ranking order is non-default: i.e., Rank(Number, Ref, 1) instead of Rank(Number, Ref) or Rank(Number, Ref, 0)

    Thank you for the responses! I have been detoured with writing another function so I will not be trying out this rank statement until this other one is resolved.

    Thank you for this formula Bernie. One more question. How would I write this to reverse the order of the ranking?

    Just flip the Less Than Sign.

    =IF(RANK_MILES!B3=0,"",SUMPRODUCT((RANK_MILES!$B$3:$J$3<>0)*(RANK_MILES!$B$3:$J$3<RANK_MILES!B3))+1)

    =IF(RANK_MILES!B3=0,"",SUMPRODUCT((RANK_MILES!$B$3:$J$3<>0)*(RANK_MILES!$B$3:$J$3>RANK_MILES!B3))+1)
