    need slight edit to current formulas

    Hello,

    I started a thread a while back asking how to rank employees based on the amount of sales they have made (http://www.excelforum.com/excel-form...formances.html).

    Fotis1991, who is a genius by the way, seemed to have the answer. however, now im actually using the formula, ive realised that its not working perfectly.
    ive found that when two employees have the same total number of sales, the ranking lists just one of the employees twice. i was hoping it would list both and perhaps rank them by alphabetical/numerical order.

    so for example, in the attached workbook if you change cell AKJ3 on Our Raw Data to 20, you will see on sheet 3 that employee 1 is listed twice with no mention of employee 2.

    thanks if you can help

    just a slight edit as request:
    In AKK2
    =IF(COUNTIF($A$2:$A2,$A2)>1,"",SUMIF($A2:$A1130,$A2,$AKJ2:$AKJ1130)+ROW()*10^-10)

    thanks bebo. that works great.
    just one final thing. your edit causes larger numbers to be higher when there is a tie. can you make it so smaller numbers are listed higher.

    I am afraid that I could not catch you, can you give examples?

    Re: need slight edit to current formulas

    currently if employees 1, 2, and 3 had all the same number of sales, the ranking would be displayed as:
    3
    2
    1

    can you make it:
    1
    2
    3

    im guessing your edit to formula results in the larger number being ranked higher when there is a tie. i would like the lower number to be ranked higher

    Re: need slight edit to current formulas

    By this:
    +ROW()*10^-10
    I add a very small value to each row
    to reverse, change it to:
    -ROW()*10^-10
