Ranking solution

[Guest]

Dear All,

I would like to rank my students but I do face prob if some of them have the
same marks

Example:

Jo 56
Mark 98
Simon 88
Stella 88
Jean 50

When I uses =large (range, 1) = Mark (tis is correct)
When I uses =large (range, 2) = Simon (tis is correct, its better if it show
both names)
When I uses =large (range, 3) = Simon (tis is wrong)

Pls help me... thanks

Try this:

Entere as an array using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just
ENTER):

=INDEX(A$2:A$6,MATCH(LARGE(B$2:B$6-ROW(B$2:B$6)/10^10,ROWS($1:1)),B$2:B$6-ROW(B$2:B$6)/10^10,0))

Copy down as needed.

Assuming your data A1:B5
Select A1:B5 > Data > Sort > Sort by select Column B > Decending > OK
In C1: enter 1
In C2: =IF(B2<B1,C1+1,C1)
Copy from C2 to C5

The result will be 1,2,2,3,4 which are Mark, Simon, Stella, Jo, Jean

Do you mean ranked by the total of both coulmns?

One way (still array entered):

=INDEX(A$2:A$6,MATCH(LARGE(B$2:B$6+C$2:C$6-ROW(B$2:B$6)/10^10,ROWS($1:1)),B$2:B$6+C$2:C$6-ROW(B$2:B$6)/10^10,0))

Valko,

no, individual.

Meaning, if the person will the highest mark is still Mark. I wan to formula
to "detect" which is the highest mark amount the whole score table.
