The RANK function is a powerful tool in Google Sheets that allows you to rank values in a range. It is especially useful when you have a large dataset and need to quickly sort and rank the data. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use the RANK function:

  1. Open your Google Sheet and select the range of data that you want to rank.
  2. Click on the cell where you want to display the first rank.
  3. Type in the formula =RANK(A1,$A$1:$A$10,0), where A1 is the first cell in the range you selected and $A$1:$A$10 is the range you selected.
  4. Press Enter.
  5. Drag the formula down to the cells below to rank the remaining values in the range.

The RANK function can be customized to rank values in ascending or descending order. You can also choose to skip ranking duplicate values, or assign the same rank to them. To learn more about the RANK function and its various options, check out the Google Sheets documentation.
