    appending text to existing values

    Hello

    Column K of my worksheet ranks the values in column J in ascending order.
    I've written in code to use 'generous' rules in the ranking. (ie 1, 2, 2,
    3 not 1, 2, 2, 4). The ranks are currently in 'General' format.

    What I'd like to do is append a "T" in cases of ties. (ie 1, 2T, 2T, 3)

    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    Try...

    K1, copied down:

    =(YourFormula)&IF(COUNTIF($J$1:$J$10,J1)>1,"T","")

    or

    =(SUM(IF(J1<$J$1:$J$10,1/COUNTIF($J$1:$J$10,$J$1:$J$10)))+1)&IF(COUNTIF($
    J$1:$J$10,J1)>1,"T","")

    ....confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER. Adjust the range
    accordingly.

    Hope this helps!

    You might be able to try something like this:

    For values in Cells A1:A10
    B1: (your rank formula)*IF(COUNTIF($A$1:$A$10,$A1)>1,-1,1)
    Copy that formula down thru B10

    Then, select B1:B10
    Format>Cells>Number tab
    Category: Custom
    Type: 0_T;0"T";0_T
    Click the [OK] button

    Note: Duplicate ranks are actually NEGATIVE, but they display without the
    minus sign (-).

    Sample output
    Value Rank Display
    10 1
    25 2T
    25 2T
    31 3
    42 4

    Does that help?
