I'm trying to take the top ten list of several people and want to find how
they rank.
For example:

X received 2 first place votes, 2 second place votes and 1 third place vote
Y received 1 first place vote, 3 second place votes and 1 third place votes
z Received 2 first place votes, 1 second place vote and 2 third place votes

How do I create a formula to average these and come up with a final list?
 
What are the weights for first, second and third place? Assuming votes for
first rank is in Col B, second in C and third in D & weights are 1, 2 and 3
this will give you the average rank (if entered in E1)
=(b1*1+c1*2+d1*2)/(1+2+3) and copy down till end of your list

You can get ranks in col F by entering this in F1 and copying down (assuming
you have 10 people in your list.. change 10 IN $e$10 to the number of people
you have)
=RANK(E1,$E$1:$E$10,1)

0 instead of 1 in the above will give you ranks in the reverse order..


I guess the lowest average would be best...
