if its set up this way:
A1=player a
B1=player b
C1=player c
D1=player d

column A2 to A4 has player a’s numbers 1,3,2
columnn B2 to B4 has player b’…..you get the idea

row 5 is your totals
A5=6
b5=4
c5=-1
d5=3

then in row 6 cell A6 use this formula

=RANK(A5,$A$5:$D$5,0)

and copy it across

this will give you the rank.
as you change the numbers, and the rankings will change automatically

the formula got 3 parts
- 1st you define the 1st score cell a5
- 2nd you define the range of all the players totals (cells a5 to d5 (with $ signs))
- 3rd is the zero. that says highest number is best…if you have golf scores, then use a ,1 and the lowest number will be best.

hope that helps.
