How to rank duplicate without skipping numbers in Excel?

In general, when we rank a list with duplicates, some numbers will be skipped as below screenshot 1 shown, but in some cases, we just want to rank with unique numbers or rank duplicate with same number without skipping the numbers as screenshot 2 shown. Do you have any tricks on solving this task in Excel?

Rank duplicate without skipping numbers

If you want to rank all data with unique numbers, select a blank cell next to the data, C2, type this formula =RANK(A2,$A$2:$A$14,1)+COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A2)-1, and drag auto fill handle down to apply this formula to the cells. See screenshot:

If you want to rank duplicates with same numbers, you can apply this formula =SUM(IF(A2>$A$2:$A$14,1/COUNTIF($A$2:$A$14,$A$2:$A$14)))+1 in the next cell of the data, press Shift + Ctrl + Enter keys together, and drag auto fill handle down. See screenshot:
