Rank values across multiple ranges and sheets by formulas
To rank multiple ranges across sheets, you need give these ranges a range name first, then apply a formula.
1. Active the workbook you use, click Formulas > Name Manager, then in the Name Manager dialog, click New button. See screenshot:
2. Then in the New Name dialog, specify the name for the range, and choose Workbook from the Scope drop down list, then paste this formula ={"Class1!$E$2:$E$5","Class2!$B$2:$B$5","Class3!$B$8:$B$11"}into the Refers to textbox. See screenshot:
In the formula, Class1!$E$2:$E$5, Class2!$B$2:$B$5 and Class3!$B$8:$B$11 are the ranges you want to rank across.
3. Click OK > Close to close the dialogs. And now you can go to a blank cell next to the value you want to rank, type this formula =IF(SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT(Score),E2))=0,"N/A",SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT(Score),">"&E2))+1), and drag auto fill handle down to apply this formula. See screenshot:
In the formula, E2 is the cell you want to rank, Score is the range name you specified in step 2. You can change the references and apply it to other ranges.
