    Formula to rank in two ways

    For a tiebreaker question on a quiz, I need a formula that does the following:
    - First, create a ranking based on the column total score
    - In case of a tie in previous, the team closest to the answer to the tiebreaker question should come first

    So I thought to work with a rank formula first and supplement it with a rank formula where (correct answer - their answer to the tiebreaker question) should be as close to zero as possible.
    But I still didn't find the correct formula. Can anyone help me?

    Now the ranking is the other way.

    This gives the reverse answer... Now the Tiebreaker question decides who will win

    Perhaps if you could tell us the expected values of cells P3 and P28, we might be able to help.
    Let us know if you have any questions.

    Make a ranking over (1000*total-shifting)
