Breaking Ties In Rank Function
Jun 21, 2014
I am trying to break ties in the Rank function.
Example worksheet attached.
I have an eight digit number (a digit can show up more than once) and determine the rank of the sum of each number. I had the ties broken by whatever digit showed up first.
In the following example, June 13th row showed 6 digits tied for second place and the tie was broken by the order in which the digit show up in the range.
On the June 14th row it showed digit 4 and 5 tied with 3 occurrence each (running total for the two days). But digit 4 came in twice that day, and reach a total 3 first before digit 5, but Rank2 shows that digit 5 was ranked first, which should of been digit 4.

I am using the RANK function to rank the data in several rows. There are some times ties in the result.
I want to break that tie by taking the greatest value in a different cell in that row
Greatest value wins the tie.
same situation if there are multiple ties (4 "RANK"'s of position 2) ...

I am a meteorologist and I keep track of my forecaster's monthly statistics. One area I track is percentage of warnings issued with desired lead time. I calculate and rank the individuals by percentages.
Example:
Forecaster A: 3 of 4 75% Rank 1
Forecaster B: 1 of 2 50% Rank 2
Forecaster C: 0 of 3 0% Rank 3
Or if ties:
Forecaster A: 6 of 6 100% Rank 1
Forecaster B: 3 of 3 100% Rank 1
Forecaster C: 1 of 2 50% Rank 3
Is there a way in Excel in case of ties, to award a higher rank (1) to the individual who went 100%, 6 for 6, compared to the individual who also earned 100%, but only 3 of 3.
More reward for more chances and opportunities.

I'm trying to come up with a formula that assigns ranks to an ascending list of integer values where ties are resolved by assigning tied values the mean of the ranks they would have received if there were no ties, e.g., 117, 119, 119, 125, 128 becomes 1, 2.5, 2.5, 4, 5. (If the two 119s were not tied, they would have been assigned the ranks 2 and 3, yielding a mean of 2.5.) My list looks like this:
Column_A Column_B
1
1
1
2
3
4
4
5
...

I have a custom sort order that I use for sorting military ranks in a number of massive spreadsheets I am using. Normally the data we get has a long version for the ranks (column 1) and a rank code (column 2). When the rank code is there it is simple to sort by that column in descending order, but without it I need a custom sort. The problem is there are up to three equivalent ranks at each level across Army, Navy and Air Force as you can see in the attachment.
Is there a way I can set up a custom sort based on both columsn of data but sorting only on the second column. I could do vlookups but there are up to 50,000 rows and I don't really want to keep that formula there, and as I use it across multiple sheets (yes I know all one sheet, but it is segregated data and used in different situations) including a vba written value would have to occur for every row on every sheet - not the best option in my opinion - maybe it is.

I'm having problem with ranking results (ascending) with similar values e.g. values 1, 2, 2 and 4 fails by use of Rank-formula (rank: 1, 2, #N/A and 4) as value 2 appears twice.
I've attached a simple example of the problem.

I have researched a problem I am experiencing in Excel 2010 and have had problems in the past with previous versions. It seems that occasionally I run across a link that just refuses to break. During my research I have found some reports that this may be linked to the "Name" function. !!!Bing!!! the light comes on. When I copied my template to my new folder and tried to cut and paste data into it I got a message saying something like "A formula or sheet you want to move or copy contains the name "...", which already exists on the destination worksheet." and I opted to replace the existing name with the new one.
Apparently I created an external link at that point and one that cannot now be broken unless I delete my named range and start over the naming process. I mention this here because I see lots of people having this problem and the stock answer is to goto the Edit Links menu and attempt to break the link. Try as they and I might, this doesn't work. I also saw a post about it being a phantom validation problem and that too panned out although I can see how the validation could be linked externally and create this problem.
Does this accurately describes the issue and is there a remedy besides re-creating the "Names"?

I am dumping data out of SAP, including the following fields:
* Vendor
* Material
* PO #
* Qty
* Amt
* Date
I would like to concatenate the material and vendor and pull in the PO # for the most recent date.
The VLOOKUP part is easy on the material/vendor, but I haven't had any luck in integrating a MAX, LARGE or RANK function to pull in the PO corresponding to the most recent date.
Once the PO # associated with the most current date can be identified for the material/vendor combination, I will need to utilize another vlookup to match the PO # up against a separate data file to pull in pricing. If anyone can think of a way to accomplish this in one step as opposed to multiple formulas.

I need to use the rank function to get the position of each item in a list based on its corresponding Revenue. However, the range that has the revenue numbers also contains a percentage related to that item. Basically, I need to use RANK based on a list that ignores any elements which are <= 1.

I'm trying to rank the values in row 94 while ignoring only zero values and including positive and negative values. I'd like the function to rank the values in descending order, beginning with the most positive value and ending with the most negative value while ignoring all zeros. The function I've come up with so far ranks the positive values correctly and ignores the zeros, but the negative values are ranked as if they come after all of the zero values instead of being ranked immediately after the smallest positive value. Is there a way to fix the function below to make it do what I want?
=IF(D94=0,"",RANK(D94,$D$94:$AY$94,0))

In the RANK() function I can rank a value depending on one set of values (one condition), but when you SORT data you can choose a second (and a third) condition.
Is there a way to RANK with two sets of values (two conditions)?

I am trying to rank a list of numbers, such as:
1
3
5
3
4
1
I have no problem with the rank function in terms of the ties showing as duplicate values, however, when this occurs I would like a "T-" to appear before ranks that are tied, and show nothing if they are not tied. Essentially, I want the final result to look like this, without having to manually add the "T-" after the ranking is complete.
1 T-5 3 T-3 5 1 3 T-3 4 2 1 T-5
I have done more complex Excel formulas before, but for some reason this is stumping me.

why this returns a #Value! error?
{=RANK(MAX(IF(MOD(ROW(F3:F9),2)=0,F3:F9)),IF(MOD(ROW(F3:F9),2)=0,F3:F9,E1),1)}
I just used the even row selector as an example.
MAX(IF(MOD(ROW(F3:F9),2)=0,F3:F9)) returns 203 and IF(MOD(ROW(F3:F9),2)=0,F3:F9,E1) returns {0;47;0;203;0;"A";0}
when you press F9.
If I change the range to exclude the non-numeric value I get the same error (it shouldn't matter according to the help file as non-numeric values are ignored).

I have 3 columns, A B C: Distribution Center, Sales, and Top Ranked. What I am trying to get is a Rank function in the Top Ranked column that looks for the highest value in the Sales column, but returns the Distribution Center associated with this Sales value instead of the actual value. I could get this done with some helper columns and a VLOOKUP, but the report is rather large and the VLOOKUP not only slows it down but also pushes the file size over the limit. Also, I will be using this for metrics other than Sales where I'll be looking for the highest and lowest figures, so if a Max or Min function works better, that would be fine. I just haven't been able to figure out how to have it return the associated data instead of the ranked data.

i have a function ("function1") that takes a range as an input:
function1 (a As Range) As Double
i have another function ("function2") that internally creates an array "a" that I need to be the input for function1. I tried, inside function2,:
...
function1(a)

but of course (?) it does not work...

I've a problem with scoring using the rank formula.
Example: four players score, 28,17,39,6. The 39 score wins, gets 4 points, 28 = 3points, 17 = 2 points, 6 = 1 point.
The rank formula will work this out fine.
However if you get two scores tied, for example 28, 28, 39, 6, using rank the points score for each 28 returns 2 when I actually need it to be 2.5
(Thats 3points +2points / 2).

Range("A4:D23") = Sheets("410").Range("A2:D21").Value '410
Range("F4:I23") = Sheets("305").Range("A2:D21").Value '305
Range("K4:N23") = Sheets("Trucks").Range("A2:D21").Value ' truck
The above code get the top 20 race car drivers, based on their points,from 3 sheets and puts them onto same sheet. Column D on each sheet has their point value.
Ie.
A B C D
1. Jeff Gordon 24 100
2. Tony Steward 20 92
3. Dale Earnhart 8jr. 91
my list will have over 100 Drivers already sorted in decending order by points. What I need to fix, is to select the top 20 drivers and any others who are tied for 20th place.
..Range("A2:D21") 'needs to be dynamic to select the top 20 and ties
the above will only get me the top 20. But if 5 drivers are tied for 20th place then I need then also. Remember the list is already sorted and the points are in column "D" starting in D2 and going down.

I am looking to create a sorted Top 10 list based on certain criteria with ties. For example, I would like to take the top values for White Team with both people with "42" at the top, since they are the top values.
I realize that there are not 10 values in the list above but I truncated the list for space purposes.

I have a list of team members and their scores for team building events. I need to create a list of the top ten scores (including any ties). The list will have to show the top ten scores as well as any additional names whose score ties with one of the top ten scores.
I tried large and also a pivot table using the advanced but cannot get it to show the top 10 unique scores as well as any duplicate scores.

I have a pivot table of values displaying agency's performance based on their sales percentage to target. When the race is 'loose', and all companies are 1 or more percentage point away from each other, I format the values without decimal places. If two agencies appear tied, I add a decimal place to seperate them. Occasionally the race is really tight and I have to increase the format to two decimal places to seperate them. how to do this automatically?

I have scores for golf teams that I have ranked. When there is a tie, I wish to break that tie based on another number.
For example, 2 teams tie for 1st place with a score of 312 from 4 golfers. I wish to rank those scores based on a 5th player score and determine the winner to be ranked 1st and the next 2nd without disrupting the ranking order of the other teams.

I have a number in one cell which is between 1 and 15 inclusive, and I want to break which ever number is chosen into the sum of 1,2,4 and 8, with each digit displayed in a separate cell. In the remainder cells if any are blank I would like 0 (zero) to be displayed
e.g.
15 ----> Cell 1 = 1, Cell 2 = 2, Cell 3 = 4, Cell 4 = 8
or
9 -----> Cell 1 = 1, Cell 2 = 0, Cell 3 = 0, Cell 4 = 8
Using the numbers 1,2,4 and 8 there is only one way to sum each of the numbers 1-15 inclusive. The results of the 4 cells I'm using an if statement to display an "x" next to an option.

I was wondering if there was a way to break down a single cell with it's componets.
For example, if cell A1 has a sum formula containing the sum of other cells, is there a was to just copy the single cell (A1) and pasting all of its different values to multiple cells?
Like, A1 has 100 in it but it is sum up by 4 other cells each @ 25 each, so is there a way to copy A1 and pasting it to different cell to show each entry?

For three years I've created a workbook (A) that is dependent on another workbook (B) I upkeep. When I open (A), I Edit Links and update the location to my newest weekly file to map from (B). For my 2014 (A) book, I did the same process, but when I update the values, all the links break. Only when I open up (B) with (A) will the values appear.
As a short term solution, I saved (A) with the values in there and disabled the prompt to update values, so others can see the data. This isn't a feasible long term solution since updates will be made weekly, and not everyone will want to open up (B) just to update (A).
