How can I "RANK" time in Excel 2003?

What have you not told us about your data? Are there any error values
in the range you are actually trying to rank from? What do you get from
=ISNUMBER(A1) ?

If your "times" were all text instead of time values, then the formula
would return #N/A instead of the #DIV/0! that you report. In that case,
you would have to convert to Excel time values [=VALUE(A1) formatted as
time] before ranking, since the RANK function does not support
internally coercing the values.
