Sample query on table "ranking" containing two fields, "id" and "result" :

SELECT r1.id, r1.result, 1+Count(r2.id) AS rank
FROM ranking AS r1 left join ranking AS r2
on (((r1.result)<[r2].[result]))
GROUP BY r1.id, r1.result
ORDER BY r1.result DESC;

@yg_be

This will not work on an excel spreadsheet.

I totally agree with you : it will only work within a database, such as within MS Access.

My bad, Sir. I read it as a spreadsheet problem. Your query should do it! Please forgive me for the interruption!

I provided the syntax of an MS Access query.
In the text I provided, you have to replace
- "ranking" by the name of your table
- "id" by the name of the column identifying the student, perhaps "[admission no]".
- "result" by the name of the column containing the marks.
By the way, I suggest avoiding spaces in names of tables and of columns.
"r1" and "r2" are just names used inside the SQL query, you can leave them as is.

"Group By" whatever the rank is will do!
