Hi,  

Well, I supposed that your data were something like that :  
   
     A            B           C  
1 Students    Marks      Position  
2 Philippe       15           2  
3 Sam            19           1  
4 Jeny           12           3  
5 John           9            4  
6 Jane           8            5  



To have the student result position in the column C, try with this formula :  
C2=RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$6) and drop down the formula on C column.
