RANK Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Finding the rank of a number within a list for ordering
Understanding the RANK Formula
The RANK function in Excel determines a number’s position in a sorted list of numbers, a tool for ordering data. It’s great for rankings—like student scores or sales standings—ignoring non-numeric values.
RANK(A1, A1:A5) with 30 in [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] returns 3 (3rd largest). It takes a number and range, with an optional order (0=descending/default, 1=ascending), handling ties by default.
Why Use RANK?
RANK orders data—think leaderboards or priority lists. Its position-based output simplifies comparisons, offering a clear way to see where values stand in a set.
Example with Sample Data
| Number, List | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 20, [10, 20, 30] | =RANK(20, A1:A3) | 2 |
| 15, [5, 15, 25, 15] | =RANK(15, A1:A4) | 2 |
| 1, [3, 2, 1], 1 | =RANK(1, A1:A3, 1) | 1 |
RANK positions: 20 is 2nd, 1 is 1st ascending. It’s a rank revealer.
