    I need to find a formula that determines the low of the number in a range

    I need a way to find out how small is -2.69% in the column (ie is it 5th smallest or 3rd smallest)


    2.38%
    0.66%
    -2.99%
    -1.53%
    -2.32%
    0.49%
    -6.55%
    1.31%
    -1.09%
    0.75%
    1.44%
    -2.69%
    -2.48%
    -1.27%
    0.08%
    -0.17%
    1.88%
    0.79%
    0.00%
    -0.08%
    -1.61%
    2.74%
    -4.76%
    3.14%
    -3.23%
    1.77%
    0.36%
    0.31%
    1.32%
    0.48%
    -1.45%
    1.85%
    0.77%
    -0.43%
    2.84%
    -1.16%
    1.11%
    1.16%
    -0.21%
    2.64%
    0.30%
    2.72%
    -1.54%
    0.78%
    1.04%
    -0.81%
    -2.81%
    -2.45%
    1.89%
    -4.34%
    -0.40%
    1.69%
    -0.95%
    -2.23%
    -0.31%
    -0.11%
    0.68%
    -1.86%

    I hope this makes sense.

    Assume your list is in Column A =RANK(-0.0269,$A$1:$A$58,1)

    maybe
    =COUNTIF(A:A,"<-2.69%")+COUNTIF(A:A,-2.69%) depends how you want to define smallest really

    Your solution was dead on.

    I have one small issue that the column will need to be based on a calculation from other columns and the formula does not work in that context.

    JieJenn,

    Sorry but the sheet I was using already had formatting in the cell I was using so it returned an error. Once I cleared out the formatting it workes perfectly.
