Hi Atul, Not as tidy as Haseeb's response,
But here is one solution: In C2: =IF(ROW(C$2)=ROW(),LARGE($B$2:$B$11,1),LARGE($B$2:$B$11,ROWS($B$2:$B$11)-COU NTIF($B$2:$B$11,"<"&INDEX(C$2:C$11,ROW()-2))+1)) In D2: =MATCH($B2,$C$2:$C$11,-1) Highlight and copy down. Your ranking is in column D. Column C is a helper column that just contains sorted rates without any duplicates. Column D finds the position of the current rate in that list, giving a ranking that fits your specifications.

For repetitive items,rank formula removes subsequent rank for example 11 % rank 3 is not assigned due to multiple entry for the same standing. I want to ignore repetitive occurrences of rates and decide first, Second third highest rates and so on. For example you want to know position of 9%, the solution I am looking for should give 4th highest rate while the rank function gives rank 5. Please provide new solution if possible Thanks once again Fin. Inst.

Copied the name of Institutions to A column and percentages to column B in C2 the formula was =RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$11,0) now drag the formula till C11 you get the desired result.

Inst. Rates in % A 10 B 11 C 12 D 11 E 6 F 9 G 8 H 8 I 9 J 7 In the above example, Rates are given for each financial institution. In descending order,the rate 12% is at the 1st position,11% is 2nd highest and so on. While using function LARGE or SMALL, we need to assign kth position to get the required result. I need to find (kth) position of given rate from the list, ignoring the duplicate items. Going back to the above example, 11% will be the second highest rate, 10% being the third highest rate and so on. Please let me know the function or combination of functions.
