How to rank highest to lowest

Lisa_Doris · 10/02/21

I would like to rank a range where the #1 rank is the lowest number in a range. The formula I am using ranks the highest number as #1

=RANKEQ([Revenue Per Year]1, [Revenue Per Year]:[Revenue Per Year], 1)

Hi @Lisa_Doris

I hope you're having a fantastic weekend!

Try something like this. (replaced the row reference number with @row instead)

=RANKEQ([Revenue Per Year]@row, [Revenue Per Year]:[Revenue Per Year], 1)

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Hi @Andrée Starå… I realize I am reviving this thread from a long time ago, but I wanted to confirm that I tried this solution and it did meet my need, though I am curious as to how to update the formula so the highest dollar amount is #1. When I added the formula to my sheet, it made the lowest dollar amount #1 and the highest dollar amount #12 (because I have 12 items on the sheet). I'd love to be able to have a report that only pulls over Ranks #1-10, with them being the highest 10 dollar amounts. Thoughts on how to reverse the formula?

Disregard my follow-up question! After reading more about the RANKEQ function, I figured it out…. adding the 1 at the end of the formula sorts in ascending order, but putting 0 sorts it in descending!
