Returns the rank of a value in descending order (average ranking).

number	The number whose rank you want to find.

REMARKS

* For an illustrated example refer to the page under Advanced Functions
* The "ref" does not have to be sorted into any particular order.
* If "ref" contains any non numeric values, then these are ignored. See Example 12.
* If "order" = "0", then the smallest numbers are given the largest rank.
* If "order" = "1", then the largest numbers are given the largest rank.
* If "order" is left blank, then 0 is used.
* Any duplicate numbers are given the average ranking. See Example 4.
* You can use the RANK.EQ function to return equal ranking when more than one value has the same rank.
* You can use the LARGE function to return the kth largest value in a list or array of numbers.
* You can use the SMALL function to return the kth smallest value in a list or array of numbers.
* You can use the PERCENTRANK.INC function to return the rank of a value as a percentage (inclusive).
* You can use the PERCENTRANK.EXC function to return the rank of a value as a percentage (exclusive).
* This function was added in Excel 2010
