Wunfluova,

I find array formulae extremely slow and resource hungry amongst large amounts of data.

The way I do it is by sorting by A (Date) B (Track) C (Race Number) and of course the data I am trying to rank.

Then run a formulae such as :

=IF(A1&B1&C1<>A2&B2&C2,1,N1+1)

This gives you a ranking, but of course needs to be modified for dual top values, I usually use a second category such as ranking career prizemoney and the API, so the equal top ranking career prizemoney, priority goes to the horse with best API.
