ACCESS FEED: Re: [MS_AccessPros] RANKING

I did not mention sorting at all. I explained ranking. I didn't say you had to sort the scores from highest to lowest or lowest to highest. I merely mentioned that if it were the game of golf, lowest score would be best, if it were test scores, 0 to 100%, highest would be the best score.

Whichever way is the BEST score (high or low), then you create your ranking formula based upon that.
I also provided you with the two ways that I personally calculate ranking.

Thanks Eric. It's not SORTING I am talking
about but
RANKING. The ranking field is a calculated control I am
trying to achieve in
Access and for which I need help. I included it to show the
desired final
result.

It
appears the lower the score the better, like in the sport
golf, which I cannot play very well.

If the SCORE column is how you are evaluating ranking, then
usually the higher the score the better (like on test scores
in school). But it looks like the lower the score the better
in this ranking example.

But personally, when I do a ranking, I would not give Excel
and Notepad both a 4.5, they would each get a ranking of 4
from me. I would leave ranks at whole numbers. But they
are right whoever did this, you would then jump from a
ranking of 4 to a ranking of 6 for Harry, since there were
two names tied with the same 4 score.

As an aside, the other way I do rankings is that I take the
scores, whatever they happen to be, and if the HIGHEST score
is considered better, whatever that highest score happens to
be, I set it artificially as my 100% or as the denominator.
So every subsequent score that is lower than the highest
score would have the following formula:

Tom 98

Dick 55

Harry 75

Outlook 58

Excel 70

Publisher 61

Notepad 70

Tom = 100% or 100

Harry's formula would be (75 / 98) * 100

Outlooks formula would be (58 / 98) * 100

etc,

This way you can see just how far behind the followers are
from the leader in terms of percentage differential.

Hi All,

would

you give a hint as to the achievement of RANK as in column
3

in the query grid if the information in columns 1 &
2

are available ?

Pls

see below.

Thanks.
