- To apply this function on your spreadsheet, you have to select a cell and enter the formula in the following format.

=RANK.AVG(number, ref, [order])
Arguments Explanation:
- Number – The number to rank.
- Ref – It is the array that contains a set of numeric values.
- Order – It is an optional one. If the order is 0 or omitted, it will sort the array in descending order. If the order is a non-zero value and then it will sort the array in ascending order.
Note:
1) If either of the argument is non-numeric and then this function returns #VALUE! Error.
2) If there are no arguments in the array, it will return #N/A! Error.
Examples
Let’s see some examples to understand this concept easily.
- Initially, you have to open your Excel workbook on your PC and launch a worksheet that has data.
- For example, we have shown you a student’s marks in the range B3:B9 and we will get the rank of each number in the range using the RANK.AVG function.
- Then, we have to apply the above-mentioned formula to get the result, as shown in the following screenshot.
- Finally, we need to click on the Enter button to get the result. Then, you will need to drag down the first cell to fill the remaining range of cells.
- If either of the argument is non-numeric and then this function returns #VALUE! Error.
From the above example, you can see that the RANK.AVG function does not accept any non-numerical values as input. If you use any non-numerical value, then it returns the #VALUE! Error.
