This function returns the rank of a number in a set of numbers. If you were to sort the set, the rank of the number would be its position in the list.
RANK(number,array,order)
This function has these arguments:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| number | Number whose rank you want to return |
| array | Reference to the set of numbers |
| order | [Optional] How the number is ranked, either in descending order (0 or omitted) or ascending order (non-zero value) |
This function gives duplicate numbers the same rank. The presence of duplicate numbers affects the ranks of subsequent numbers. For example, in a list of integers, if the number 12 appears twice and has a rank of 4, then 13 would have a rank of 6 (no number would have a rank of 5).
Accepts numeric data for the number argument, a reference for the array argument, and numeric data for the order argument. Returns numeric data.
RANK(B3,B1:B8,1)
RANK(R3C2,R1C2:R8C2,1)
RANK(16,{2,4,8,16,32},1) gives the result 4
This function is available in product version 1.0 or later.
