RANK Formula Syntax

=RANK(A1, A1:A5)

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, ListFormulaResult
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.
