    Red face Rank from highest to lowest

    Highest score wins.
    We determine who is the champion(s), 2nd, 3rd winner etc.
    If two winners have the same highest score, both are 1st winner. The next will be 3rd winner.
    If three winners have the same highest score, three are 1st winner. The next will be 4th winner.
    The same logic applies to 2nd, 3rd winners and so on.

    For example:
    Score of different competitors
    John || Mary || Sam || Susan || Helen
    10 || 8 || 8 || 6 || 3

    Champion: John
    2nd winner: Mary, Sam
    3rd winner: --
    4th winner: Susan
    5th winner: Helen

    How could I write a series of formula which can rank and list the winners automatically?

    Click to see the sample sheet for an overview and example.

    Thanks a lot for your answer. ^_^

    Thanks a lot.

    Unfortunately it is not what I want.

    I would like a formula which can declare who is the champion, 2nd winner, 3rd winner etc.

    It is not that easy. Read the first post, and read the sample sheet to see the problem.

    It demonstrates the problem I'm facing, and you could see what I want to achieve in the sheet.
