Hi,

Nice approach to the problem. How about this to make it cope with 3 way ties

=SUM(1*(L1>=$L$1:$L$8))-ROUND((SUM(1*(L1=$L$1:$L$8))-1)/COUNTIF(L$1:L$8,L1),2)

forgot to mention that this is an array formula, after placing the formula,
press Ctrl, Shift and Enter all at once to enter, you will see curly
brackets wrap around the formula in the formula bar.

assuming that your data start in row 1, try this formula in L1 and copy down

=SUM(1*(L1>=$L$1:$L$8))-(SUM(1*(L1=$L$1:$L$8))-1)/2

Does this do what you what?

I have rows of figures over a number of columns, starting at column A,
with totals for each row in column K. I then want to allocate values
from 1 to 8 to each of the rows, in column L, with 8 to the highest
total and 1 to the lowest total, if 2 rows are the same total they each
receive half of the combined figures, as per the examples below:-

(This is a very simple example of what I use, in reality there are some
24 columns and 16 rows, where the values are from 1 to 16 rather than 1
to 8)

ABCDE FG H I J K L
Row 1 = 5 6 6 2 4 2 4 3 2 6 = 40 -- 8
Row 2 = 5 3 3 6 0 2 0 3 2 4 = 28 -- 2
Row 3 = 1 0 0 4 2 6 6 0 6 4 = 29 -- 3.5
Row 4 = 1 3 3 0 6 2 2 6 2 6 = 31 -- 5.5
Row 5 = 1 0 0 4 2 4 2 3 4 0 = 20 -- 1
Row 6 = 1 3 3 0 6 4 6 3 4 2 = 32 -- 7
Row 7 = 5 6 6 2 4 0 0 6 0 2 = 31 -- 5.5
Row 8 - 5 3 3 6 0 4 4 0 4 0 = 29 -- 3.5

What I require is a formula which will automatically insert the
appropriate value, 1 to 8 in the example above.

I would be most grateful for any suggestions.
