<p>The <b>RANK</b> function is one of the statistical functions. It is used to return the rank of a number in a list of numbers. The rank of a number is its size relative to other values in a list (if you were to sort the list, the rank of the number would be its position).</p>
<pstyle="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>number</em></b> is the value you want to find the rank for.</p>
<pstyle="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>ref</em></b> is the selected range of cells containing the specified <b><em>number</em></b>.</p>
<pstyle="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>order</em></b> is the numeric value that specifyes how to order the <b><em>ref</em></b> array. It is an optional argument. If it is 0 or omitted, the function ranks <b><em>number</em></b> as if <b><em>ref</em></b> were a list sorted in descending order. Аny other numeric value is treated as the value 1 and the function ranks <b><em>number</em></b> as if <b><em>ref</em></b> were a list sorted in ascending order.</p>
