Excel
How to find a Rank with Average
There are three versions of the RANK formula that you can use in MS Excel
RANK was available in the older versions of excel. We can still use it, probably it will not be available in the coming versions of Excel. There are two new versions of Rank now - RANK.EQ and RANK.AVG. Below example may clear the difference between these two -
For values 5,6,6,7 -RANK and RANK.EQ will return ranks as 1,2,2,4 (Same rank for same values) and RANK.AVG will return ranks as 1 ,2.5 ,2.5 ,4. (Average of 2nd and 3rd rank). Because RANK.AVG takes average of the ranks where values are same, we often see decimal digits in ranks calculated using this formula.
If all the values in the list are unique, all the three formulas assign same ranks in that case.
Hope you have understood the previous lecture.
Here is a practice exercise. Although it is not mandatory, we highly recommend that you practice before moving on to the next video.
