Solved Excel Tracking Movement In Ranking From Month To Month

  • 8

Hi, I have a spreadsheet that tracks Hits and Player rankings based on the Hits. Each month is contained on a different worksheet.

I need a formula that tells me how many places up and down in the rankings a player fell or increased each month.

Is this even possible?

  1. There are multiple ways to reference a cell to the left of a value.

    One method is to use OFFSET and MATCH:

    =OFFSET(Sheet1!$B$2,MATCH(Sheet2!B2,Sheet1!$B$2:$B$10,0)-1,-1)

    This formula will MATCH the value from Sheet2!B2 in the range SHEET1!$B$2:$B$10 and return position of the player number in that list. It will then use that number as the rows argument (after we subtract 1 from it) for the OFFSET function. -1 as the cols argument will reference the column to the left.

    Another method is SUMIF:

    =SUMIF(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$10, Sheet2!B2, Sheet1!$A$2:$A$10)

    Since there is only one occurrence of each player number in the range, the SUMIF will only return a single rank value for each player.

    You could subtract 2 SUMIF’s to get the change in Rank directly.

    =SUMIF(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$10,Sheet2!B2,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$10) –
    SUMIF(Sheet2!$B$2:$B$10,Sheet2!B2,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$10)
