[mso] Re: Excel Ranked List Problem

Here's the readable version (I hope):

I've only had a quick look at this, I used RANK to get the values as you
showed and then used the formula shown below to give the results =
displayed
(the formula shown is the one for row 12, if you enter the values in =
column
G to tell the formula where the bottom row is in the HLOOKUP then you =
should
be able to copy the formula).

     Col A               B       C         D    E                    F
G
8     Name                                      =09
9     Partridge           2       4           3   1
IT,English,Science,Math     5
10    Hare                4       2           1   3
Science,Math,IT,English     4
11    Smith               1       3           2   4
English,Science,Math,IT     3
12    Jones               4       1           1   3
Math,Science,IT,English     2
13                   English   Math     Science  IT     =09

=3DCONCATENATE(IF(COUNTIF($B12:$E12,"=3D1")>0,HLOOKUP(1,$B12:$E$13,G12,0)=
,HLOOKU
P(1,$B12:$E$13,G12,1)),",",IF(COUNTIF($B12:$E12,"=3D2")>0,HLOOKUP(2,$B12:=
$E$13
,G12,0),HLOOKUP(2,$B12:$E$13,G12,1)),",",IF(COUNTIF($B12:$E12,"=3D3")>0,H=
LOOKU
P(3,$B12:$E$13,G12,0),HLOOKUP(3,$B12:$E$13,G12,1)),",",IF(COUNTIF($B12:$E=
12,
"=3D4")>0,HLOOKUP(4,$B12:$E$13,G12,0),HLOOKUP(4,$B12:$E$13,G12,1)))

I can't guarantee it would work in all situations, if you haven't got an
exact match for HLOOKUP then you have to settle for the nearest unless =
you
want to develop the formula further to prevent #N/A being returned but =
it
seems to work OK for this data.

(I hope this comes to you free of the dreaded =3D3Ds)
