    Hi delcroig,

    if I understood your question right, you can use RANK function to achieve your goal.

    RANK function - Microsoft Support

    To automatically rank data in an Excel table, follow these simple steps:

    1. Insert a New Column:

      • Right-click on the column next to your data, then click "Insert." This creates a new column for displaying the ranks.
    2. Enter the RANK Formula:

      • In the first cell of the new column, type this formula:

     

    =RANK(A2, A$2:A$12)
    ​

     

    • Replace A2 with the cell containing the data you want to rank.
    • Modify A$2:A$12 to cover your entire data range (all 11 data points).

    3. Drag the Fill Handle:

    • Click and drag the small square at the bottom-right corner of the cell down to apply the formula to all your data points.
