Every time i need a tutorial from Excel, i check Leila's videos before i go to another channel, because she explains it so well. Not like other guys with one hella heavy accents who just uses random formula or whatever without explaining the logic then be like "Ta-da there you have it". Tbh im so grateful for Leila's channel.
Hello Leila, Thank you for showing the Textjoin function when listing employees by rank - brillant! As for ranking without duplicates, what I typically use (because I can work my head around it) is the following formula which would be in cell D5: =RANK.EQ(B5,$B$5:$B$24)+COUNTIF(B$4:B4,B5). Alternatively if the column headings were only numbers (or the data started in the first row) it would change to =RANK.EQ(B5,$B$5:$B$24)+COUNTIF(B$5:B5,B5)-1. Love your tutorials! Thank you! Michael
Thank you Michael - Agree, the unique rank formula is great to avoid duplicate numbers. I use that when creating bar charts that are automatically sorted. Thank you for sharing.
Respected Madam, For ranking purpose i watch dozen of videos in past, so i watch your video today and i find my problem of ranking without skipping number, so you are a great and i am thankfull to you for making this video, be sure this video solve my problem which i facing from 6 years, thank you so much
I had to give it a moment before i fully understood what is going on. So you're valuating entries bigger then currently checked but with proportional contribution. So clever, i love it.
I watched this video a while a go and it blew my mind. Today I had to create a ranking and realised I didn't want to skip positions, so came back to watch it again. Thank you!! My question is if I want to add another criteria in order to avoid repeating positions (and not skip positions as well). I can't join both tricks unfortunately.
That's a good way of ranking, especially the use of sumproduct and countif especially when ranking the top 3, this method will not leave out individuals with the same rank
Thanks Solomon. Yes - using the usual Vlookup would get the first match - Textjoin is great for this. In the future with dynamic arrays, the formula and the steps will also get more simple :)
Dear Mam, I have no words to thank you. Super trick. I was in trouble for the last two years while developing the result sheets of my school and I was unable to find a way... You are genius. May God bless you.
Hi Leila.. great video! Thanks for the SUMPRODUCT, COUNTIF and TEXTJOIN fun!! Before enrolling in your classes and watching your channel, I would have been clueless as to what you did here. Thanks to your great instructions and clear explanations, I can now easily follow along and understand your approach, as well as replicate your solutions and extend them to other uses. For anyone wanting a deep dive into these great techniques, I strongly recommend that they seek out all your offered resources.. both free and paid. You won't be disappointed and you will up your game in EXCEL. In recreating your example, I realized that you might want to sort the results for the ranks with multiple answers. With DAFs, that would be easy.. wrap the TEXTJOIN function with SORT().. yes? Can't wait until those are released by MS!! Thanks again for all that you offer to the EXCEL community. Your contributions and resources are invaluable. Thumbs up!!
Hello Leila Thank you for the videos... you're showing how to get the results with explanation. in regard to ranking, I used to go with the largest, smallest functions, and I use < or > for ranges with countif
@@LeilaGharani Hello Leila Gharani, I just wanted to share, this is the best I came up with in excel and VBA few years ago, and shared it on youtube, almost, 6 months ago th-cam.com/video/pZZBhH2un5Q/w-d-xo.html it uses VBA, conditional formatting and in sheet excel function it has some features I was looking for and Thankfully were available in Excel 2007 and I wanted to share my music as well :) and again thank you for your excellent Videos
And This one as well, th-cam.com/video/Qk3v991FcZo/w-d-xo.html When I first started excel, back then you were a reference, before VBA. it's all conditional formatting and a few if statements Thanks
I recently found your channel. Your explanations are very clear, your example are well thought of and relevant for many applications. Keep up the EXCELLENT work of spreading knowledge !!
everything in your channel is very interesting. I'm using this tool as part of my work and requirements as a teacher, but i never had any idea of the other functions. Thank you for sharing your knowledge online.
Thanks Leila love your work, helps so much when Excel is not your daily work routine . Excel 2019 - Tried this video tutorial to get info into your earlier tutorial "Excel Charts: Sorted Bar Chart as Alternative to the Pie Chart 14.7.2016. As I have table of data that now happens to have 2-3 sets of duplicates or Triples it varies, However the Rankings and graphs are all in one file linking to the data sets in another file so ranking etc are carried out on the separate sheet. Now the issue has come to light that this method is not working on duplicates. So I thought that the ranking should perhaps have been on the underlying data set worksheet but tried that no different the index and match return's an error so tried on the data sheet the other formula and still get an error - these are the two formula. =RANK.EQ(J55,J$55:$J$219,0)+COUNTIF($J$55:J55,J55)-1 or =SUMPRODUCT((J55
For people who do not have Textjoin, an alternative would be to make a sequential list of 1-20 beside column D unique rank. Then in the report tab in cell D6 enter =INDEX(Data!$A$5:$A$24,MATCH(Report!C6,Data!$E$5:$E$24,0)
Awesome video thank you very much for your great videos. I have learned a lot. One thing though that I am struggling with is converting this sumproduct formula to a VBA Function. Would you have any pointers or would you make a video on how to convert this formula into a VBA function?
Great solution with the sumproduct, but if some of your data are equal and already listed one after the other (In your video for example all the 9.000s are together) the formula breaks. For example the sumproduct resulted to something that looked like an whole number (i.e integer) but it was not. For example the sumproduct was 8.000000 and no matter how many digits I included it looked like a whole 8 but the INT part of it was 7 !!!!!!! Couldn't get my head around why,....... When I was deleting some of the "same sorted records" (some of your 9.0000s) the formula was working perfectly .....To overcome this I had to totally unsort my data in order to apply your beautiful solution. Thank you very much for your excellent video.
Thank you for sharing this awesome lesson. I personally gained so much knowledge in excel from you. This functions works perfectly on lists of numericals.But i am having trouble, I applied the SUMPRODUCT+COUNTIF function on a student's Mark sheet, and the formula sees letters as 1 as below: 500 2 250 4 Fail 1 300 3 I know you'd be so busy and I would not complain even if you don't have time for my problem. If it's not bothersome for you, please help me find a solution for this. Thank you for creating an amazing channel.
Very very thankful for this.i am teacher in intercollage.i face problem every time while declare position in class. When excel skip the number I do it manually.thanks again.
I have been following your channel for some time now and you offer excellent solutions Leila and for that I am grateful . I have wanted to use a function which does the following: as you enter numbers in a list it identifies that for example an 8 occurred.. a six occurred..(this part you covered very well in unique numbers )..... but as soon as a 7 occurs then all previous occurrences are reset without affecting the previously input list of numbers. Is this possible being that Excel is not time sensitive (sort of)?
Ms Excel, I'm trying to rank numbers in a cells that are actually formulas for a countdown. Background: I'm a uni student and I wanted to see how many days before my final exams inorder to prioritize my studying. The column with this formula works great and I have the countdown per course; however, I am trying to rank my courses from 1 - 7 (I'm taking extra courses - love learning!) and I keep getting an error or a "circle reference" error. How would you rank 7 rows with a formula? I could manually just do this but I was hoping to automate it with a formula. Thoughts?
What if you wanted to ranked those people base on group that is the top person in each group. And also return the name of the top person in each group. How would you go about doing that? I predict your insights would be helpful.
So how would you determine the top performer of the 2nd placers if there has to be a tie breaker? Thanks for the video, you started me on an awesome path.
This is awesome!!! However, I was wondering... How can I do this for more than one criteria? In other words, how do I rank based on multiple column values and still not skip numbers (sequence)?
Hi Leila, just saw your video. First time l come across your formula. Usually l use this formula to avoid duplicates =RANK(A2,$A$2:$A$11,1)+COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A2)-1. Your thoughts on this please. Thank you
Wow Wonderfull ranking method 👍🏻 I faced the same issue but I solved with Two help columns and by adding 0.1 to each same ranking number . But you did it in one formula 👍🏻 I just have a question “ any possible way of developing evaluate formula window in a new userform by vba for bigger font and size and to ease the elaboration of formulas?”
Helper columns are great too. Regarding making the evaluate formula window bigger - I've never tried that. Have you posted your query on the Microsoft tech community? techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Excel/bd-p/ExcelGeneral Maybe someone has already done something similar.
I call this the Leila Ranking formula. I used it in an online Teams session (on someone else’s computer) last year and the people were amazed. Conclusion: it’s always good to have a Leila Gharani formula on hand - you never know when you might need it. ;-)
Really nice video! I have not gotten the grasp on the use of the first formula though (the one with True and False). What was the purpose on this? I know outcome would be either 1 or 0 but still do not know what is the hidden purpose in it?
