Excel Function RANK

RANK(number, ref [,order])

Returns the rank of a value in a list, table or cell range (in descending order) (equal ranking).

number	The number whose rank you want to find.
ref	The array, or a reference to, a list of numbers.
order	(Optional) The number indicating how the list of numbers is sorted: 0 = largest number has a rank of 1 (default) 1 = smallest number has a rank of 1

Remarks

* RANK.EQ was added in Excel 2010 to replace this function.
* Any duplicate numbers in the list will have the same rank.
* 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 same rank. See Example 4.
