    A series of weighted variables for a percentage ranking

    Hello,

    I've attached the excel file that showcases the break out.

    Ultimately there 6 vendors (labeled A - F) the various categors and each vendors ranking within each out 6 categories left to right. How do I calculate a combined weighted ranking formula?:
    - Category 1, weighted 20%, - (value 1 - 100)
    - Category 2, weighted 20%, - (value 1 - 5, w/ 5 being the highest)
    - Category 3, weighted 20%, - (value 1 - 5, w/ 5 being the highest)
    - Category 4, weighted 20%, - (value 1 - 100)
    - Category 5, weighted 10%, - (value 1 - 5, w/ 1 being the highest)
    - Category 6, weighted 10%, - (value 1 - 5, w/ 5 being the highest)

    Categories (weighted)>>>>>>
    A 75 4 2 55 5 4 = (A % Ranking result Formula???? )
    B 65 2 5 70 4 3 = (B % Ranking result Formula???? )
    C 70 4 4 66 3 5 = (C % Ranking result Formula???? )
    D 45 1 3 40 3 3 = (D % Ranking result Formula???? )
    E 55 3 3 52 5 3 = (E % Ranking result Formula???? )
    F 45 1 4 80 2 4 = (F % Ranking result Formula???? )

    Re: Formula help!!!: A series of weighted variables for a percentage ranking

    Not quit sure what the end result should be (in %, scale), but lets start here based on you formula:

    HTML Code: 
    This will give you a percentage 0-100% where values closest to 0% are the best results (highest avg rank)

    Thanks so much for you speedy response,

    The end result: based on the combined weighted results for each vendor, we need an overall best ranking score by vendor as a percentage.

    Special note in Column F the ranking 1- 5 is reversed where 1 is the highestest ranking and 5 is the lowest, did we already account for this unique scoring variable?

    Also if we run a test calculation on the best possible scoring totals across all categories a vendor can make the ranking should reflect it. with the highest qualifying percentage , no? What do you think, I'm not sure if we accounted for this?

    Thanks so much,

    buzzzzz

    Based on you additions:

    we need an overall best ranking score by vendor as a percentage.

    Special note in Column F the ranking 1- 5 is reversed where 1 is the highestest ranking and 5 is the lowest

    Also if we run a test calculation on the best possible scoring totals across all categories a vendor can make the ranking should reflect it. with the highest qualifying percentage.
    HTML Code: 
    This will give you a percentage 0-100% where values closest to 100% are the best results (highest avg rank)

    Thanks the score did improve, but it's not adding up to 100% when I entered the highest possible scoring numbers in each category.

    I've attached also the version 2 of the file with this revised formula on the first tab. I've also called out the key factors that are affecting the overall calculation.

    Let me know if this helps,

    Thanks again in advance

    Re: A series of weighted variables for a percentage ranking

    Would:

    H7: =$B7/100*0.2+$C7/5*0.2+$D7/5*0.2+$E7/100*0.2+(6-$F7)/5*0.1+$G7/5*0.1
    copied down

    work for you ?

    Re: A series of weighted variables for a percentage ranking

    Put this in H7: =0.2*SUM(B7/100+C7/5+D7/5+E7/100+0.5*(6-F7)/5+0.5*G7/5)

    I was confused when you used the word ranking
