    Comparing cells to find best results

    What can I do to make a "ranking system" for the following sheet I attached.

    Looking to compare all availabletechnicians against themselves on the MONTHLY page.(matrix F10:I34)

    Maybe as simple as changing the #1's text color so its easily spotted.

    A sample sheet with some actual data and and actual example of your desired results would be easier for us to see what you're after.

    Hi Berk21, IMHO you can choose here to do it using the RANK formula or conditional formatting.
    If you are going to use the second. In excel 2007 first select the range where you want to base your top 3. In your book at the sheet "Monthly Review" select from F10 to F34 then go Home -> Conditional formatting -> New Rule... -> Format only top or bottom ranked values -> at the edit the rule description select the appropriate rank or bottom change the 10 for 3 and select the format you want.

    If you like use the formula Rank just check the attached book.

    Hope you find this helpful.

    Re: Comparing (technicians) cells to find top 3 best results

    Thank you pedroxido

    Good start..but I was wondering if the top 2 Technicians can be highlighted after the results are ranked as a whole.

    I don't want to highlight the 100% and the 99%'s .....I want the formula to compare ALL the techs final scores and find the 2 that excel past the rest, and their name be colored.

    maybe this is easier to make sense of this:
    pretend the 4 columns are quarters in high school with GPA's...compare all "scores" to get the top 2 in their class.

    The last key thing I need is compare all techs in column C10:C34 as long as there is a name in there...not all the time will there only be 17 techs...maybe 20 next month or 5...so the formula has to recognize the all the techs at any given moment.

    Thank you in advance....

    Here is the actual October spread sheet...with those numbers in place, I need to "rank" my Technicians.....conditional formatting was nice but not all I was looking for...
    can I possibly set a numerical value adjacent to the correct person?
    ie. Tech A 1st, Tech H 2nd, Tech D 3rd in column J.

    Why not just add a formula in J10 and copy down, =AVERAGE(F10:I10), and sort descending?
