    How to Rank three columns together

    Hello Everyone, I am trying to rank these three columns based on the minimum values in all three simultaneously, using the formula shown in the picture. But somehow, it selects the values that arent minimum in one of the columns, as i highlighted in Yellow.
    How do i organize the formula so it wont give the rank this way. Ideally it should have ignore the 58 161 41 value.
    Thank you

    Hi fadiu,

    It seems you have 3 columns and a Rank column. Is your rank number which number column has the minimum value per row? I simply don't understand the problem. If you have only 3 columns how could a rank number be 5?
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Re: How to Rank three columns together

    Hi Marvin,
    No, its in the entire column, if you look at the range selected in the formula shown. What I am trying to do is to count How many values are below the currently active cell value. and the formula checks not just one but three columns at the same time, so it counts for number of values below a certain value. i am attaching an image for the reference to what my end goal is Attachment 689397

    Re: How to Rank three columns together

    That is why I posted the link for you, as explained in my post. It's not a solution - it's a link to your post on the other forum. I don't have a solution for you - my post was a moderation notice.

    When you joined, you agreed to our rules, so perhaps ought to have read them then so that you were aware. Here's a link to the rules so that you can read them now: https://www.excelforum.com/forum-rul...rum-rules.html

    Re: How to Rank three columns together

    Thank you, I have read the rule now and tried editing my post to add the link to other forum but again I get the error of being not allowed to mention URL in my post.

    HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK:

    Fast answers need clear examples. Post a small Excel sheet (not a picture) showing realistic & representative sample data WITHOUT confidential information (10-20 rows, not thousands...) and some manually calculated results. Just before posting, scroll down to GO ADVANCED, click, and then scroll down to MANAGE ATTACHMENTS and click again. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.
