Hey, Dirk McCord
use the Excel VLOOKUP function to match the number in the Activity Column with the Rank of the https://www.colorschemer.com/fake-name-generator/ or even better use INDEX and MATCH. VLOOKUP that works in any direction and returns exact matches by default, making it easier and more convenient to use than its predecessor.
The range where the lookup value is located. Remember that the lookup value should always be in the first column in the range for VLOOKUP to work correctly. For example, if your lookup value is in cell C2 then your range should start with C.
The column number in the range that contains the return value. For example, if you specify B2:D11 as the range, you should count B as the first column, C as the second, and so on.
Optionally, you can specify TRUE if you want an approximate match or FALSE if you want an exact match of the return value. If you don't specify anything, the default value will always be TRUE or approximate match.
Now put all of the above together as follows:
=VLOOKUP(lookup value, range containing the lookup value, the column number in the range containing the return value, Approximate match (TRUE) or Exact match (FALSE)).
