    rank unique instead
    =RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$11,0)+COUNTIF($B$2:B2,B2)-1

    your explanation left me ambiguous about what it is that you are looking for. do you want to or not want to show duplicates?

    also it is preferred that you upload excel files instead of pictures.

    - i.s.z -
    CSE, aka Array aka { }, formulae are confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER.
    Replace commas ( , ) with semicolons ( ; ) in formulae, if your locale setting demands.
    All good ideas are courtesy resources from this forum as well as others around the web.

    Many Thanks for the responses martindwilson & icestationzbra.
    Both solutions produced good results.

    Yes I want to show any duplicates.
    I am developing the spreasheet as we speak so it is evolving and problems are popping up as I go, the joys of being a Excel newbie, it's all good learning curve.

    Could you help with the attached, spreadsheet this time

    Once again many thanks ...

    have you seen the file that i uploaded? it seems to be doing what you are asking for. check out the formulae embedded in the file to see how to adapt it to your workbook.

    if that is not what you want, point out the difference and explain what it is that you would rather it did.

    Hi, thanks, yes it worked well, but this time i was wanting to bring back an additional adjacent column as well as the Score in your example.
    Hope that makes sense!
    It's late here so heading off for some zzzzzz's.
    I will be carrying on with it tomorrow when hopefully I will be seeing things a little clearer
