Calculate rank count with competition, dense, and fractional tie methods
| Value | Competition | Dense | Fractional |
|---|
Different ranking methods handle ties differently. Use this rank calculator when you need a rank count for scores, statistics data, sports results, contest results, or ordered business metrics.
Ranking is the process of assigning positions to data points based on their value order. Different methods handle tied values differently.
A rank count starts by sorting values from highest to lowest or lowest to highest. When values are tied, competition rank gives the same rank and skips positions, dense rank gives the same rank without skipped positions, and fractional rank averages the occupied positions.
Ties share rank, gaps after (1224)
Ties share rank, no gaps (1223)
Ties get average rank (1 2.5 2.5 4)
Each gets unique rank (1234)
| Method | Tie Pattern | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Competition rank | 1, 2, 2, 4 | Sports standings and contests where skipped places matter. |
| Dense rank | 1, 2, 2, 3 | Grouped score bands without skipped rank numbers. |
| Fractional rank | 1, 2.5, 2.5, 4 | Statistics, nonparametric tests, and average rank calculations. |
