How do you RANK a set of numbers in a spreadsheet?
You use the RANK function. So if you have a set of numbers in the cells from A2 to A15 and wanted to put a rank of each one beside it, then starting in B2, you would have the following formula:
=RANK(B2,A$2:A$15)
That will rank from highest to lowest. There is an optional argument, to rank them in reverse order. You would use 0 for the default of ranking the highest as first, which is the default, and 1 to rank the lowest as first, like this:
=RANK(B2,A$2:A$15,1)
You could use the Format Painter, double clicking on it before it starts while selecting a cell that has the colour you want. You could also select the cells first, by clicking on them while holding the Ctrl key and then choose the colour you want from the font settings.
