How to determine the ranking positions?

[Eric]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to determine the ranking positions?
There is a list of numbers under column A, I would like to determine the
ranking number starting from max to min.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
For example,
5 Rank (3) 3 should be returned under column B
4 Rank (4) 4 should be returned under column B
6 Rank (2) 2 should be returned under column B
8 Rank (1) 1 should be returned under column B
