    Question Search column for highest value, then second highest, etc.

    Hi All,

    I have a set of numeric values in a column that will vary between 0 and 80. Some columns may have the same number more than once.

    I would like to create nominal numeric values in the next column to represent the ranking of the values in the previous column with 1= highest value, 2=next highest value etc.

    It would be great to adjust for ties, i.e., two top values of 28 would result in two "1s" no "2s," rank would continue with "3"

    I know I can do this with a sort but we will have hundreds of these!

    I have attached a sample file.

    Thanks.

    For your example: =RANK(A2,$A$2:$A$13)
