    Named Rank based on Total

    I have a spreadsheet that is updated everyday with points for a contest. My goal is to have columns M, N, and O updated daily with the totals of the contest (Column K). Column M being the name, N being the point total of the associated name, and O being the rank (1 being the best at the top).
    Add-On Contest.xlsx
    Thanks for your help.... and if you can please let me know the formulas in reply as I am unable to download sheets due to my firewall at work.

    In N5
    =LARGE($K$5:$K$18,ROW(A1))

    In O5
    =RANK(N5,$N$5:$N$18)

    In M5
    =INDEX($B$5:$B$18,MATCH(N5,$K$5:$K$18,0))

    Copy down

    These wont work satisfactorily in case of duplicate scores though.
    Life's a spreadsheet, Excel!

    A lot of the scores tend to be duplicates - is there a way around this?

    and copy down.

    Here is something that you could try. A helper column is used to break ties.
