If I wanted to rank a set of values in different cells, all in the same column or all in the row from lowest to highest, without sorting, how would I do that? . e.g. Cell A2=14.3, A3=5.6, A4=8.9, A5=11.3, and A6=2.4 How could I put a ranking in column B to show that Cell A6 ranked 1st, A3 2nd, etc...?

It will rank as many columns as you want

What if the value in two or more of the cells is the same, what results do you get?
Excelchat Expert
15/05/2018 - 08:41
you can make the result same and then see
Excelchat Expert
15/05/2018 - 08:41
They will get same rank
User
15/05/2018 - 08:42
Ok, and it skips the ranking number, in this case #3 is not showing as there are two #2 rankings. That's perfect.
