This may be a simple “It’s not possible” answer but I want to make sure. I am using LibreOffice at the moment but if it is possible in Excel I can switch.
I have a spreadsheet with a few tables, each with results of the same test on different data. I want to rank the results over all the data in another table (again of the same form).
So, I would like to use the function rank as follows
=RANK(B4,{B4,B12,B20,B28,B36,B44,B52,B60,B68,B76,B84,B92,B100})
Where the bit in {..} denotes my cell list. In the case of performing getting the sum or average I can do:
=AVERAGE(B4,B12,B20,B28,B36,B44,B52,B60,B68,B76,B84,B92,B100)
and it works fine. Also, if the cells were consecutive, we can do the following:
=RANK(B4, B4:B100)
But unfortunately they aren’t in this case, so I am wondering whether there is an nice solution to this – other than referencing the cells somewhere else in a consecutive list and using that for input to the rank function.
No worries, Ptay. In Excel, the rank and average functions can be used exactly as you describe (just with parenthesis, not brackets).
