Formula

I am trying to do multiple formula and I want to make sure that I have the correct information in the formula.  in column p i need to have it by state from a-z but also need to have it use column o from largest to smallest.  how do i properly go about doing this.  I believe that it needs to be a countifs formula

    Turtle34 Your current formula attempts to count the number occurrences of the numbers in "Net Score" in an array of "St/Pr" containing only texts "AK" or "YT". Obviously, that does return -zero- all the way and this is NOT what you want to do.

     

    Your "St/Pr" columns has 22 occurrences for AK and 2 for YT. Your "Net Score" "column O" is sorted (high-to-low). The first nine entries are all from AK. So, these are ranked 1 to 9 for AK. Similarly, the 10th entry would rank as 1 for YT, the 11th would be the 10th for AK and so on. Is this what you want to do in a formula? If so, the enter the one below in P5 and copy it down.

     

    =COUNTIF($C$4:C4,C5)+1

      now my next question is if there are 2 net scores that are the same score they should be the same rank how do i go about doing that?

      so since i have the actual rank done and the net score is in order it is looking at the states and sorting from there?

    Perhaps, your COUNTIFS formula in P5 should be like this: 

    =COUNTIFS(C$5:C$28,"<="&C5,
    O$5:O$28,">="&O5)

    For your reference, I hereto attached your file with the foregoing formula, copied down Column P.
