Ranking by Alphabetical order?
quick question...
I know the Rank formula on Excel gives you the position of your specified number within the array of numbers...
Is there an equivalent formula that Excel has that can rank text in alphabetical order?
ie, below if column A is a list of names, I want to put a formula in column B that returns numbers per below, the postion of the name within the list based on alphabetical order...??
Code:
COLUMN A COLUMN B
Victor 6
simon 3
Teresa 4
Toby 5
Andy 1
Dave 2
Re: Ranking by Alphabetical order?
This may work, provided that no blank value in column A:
Code:
---A--- ----------B-----------------
Victor =1+COUNTIF(A1:A6,"<" & A1)
simon =1+COUNTIF(A1:A6,"<" & A2)
Teresa =1+COUNTIF(A1:A6,"<" & A3)
Toby =1+COUNTIF(A1:A6,"<" & A4)
Andy =1+COUNTIF(A1:A6,"<" & A5)
Dave =1+COUNTIF(A1:A6,"<" & A6)
