Hello,

I'm creating a spreadsheet for a netball tournament and want it to calculate the finishing positions (1st, 2nd etc) based on the points scored. If there are joint points then the order will look at goal difference which is shown in a different column to the points.

Do you know the formula I would need to use?

Many thanks
Laura

Hi Laura,

So the higher the points scored and the higher the goal difference the higher the rank? If that is true then try the following formula:
=RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$6)+SUMPRODUCT(--($B$2:$B$6=B2),--($C$2:$C$6>C2))

Where column B is points scored and column C is point difference.

Best regards,
Trowa
