    Ranking & Scoring

    Hi, i'm trying to rank prize-money (in the millions) for a group players and then give them a score out of 100 based on earned prize-money compared to the rest of the group.

    Can someone please help me with this?

    thanks

    If the prize money is in A2:A20, in B2 copied down

    =RANK(A2, $A$2:$A$20) gives the rank

    in C2 based on a scale from 0 if you earned 0 prize money to 100 for whomever earned the most prize money,

    =A2/MAX($A$2:$A$20)*100
    Not sure if that's what you wanted.

    Hi there,

    How would one give a proportion out of 100? Lets say i wanted to wager $100 in total and allocate based on the scores that were previously given out of 100.

    thanks,
    Mark.

    Hi Mark,

    I like Pivot Tables and they have a feature of "Show Values As" that may do exactly what you want. See the attached where I've showed the two columns as
    1. Percent of Column Total
    2. Rank of Total

    See the picture on site

    Is this what you wanted? No formulas involved.
