Points behind leader - rank set analysis

Tue, 27 Sep 2016 14:04:57 GMT

I have a simple requirement and have tried multiple calculations but cannot get the required result.

The following is the required result from an excel spreadsheet.

Player	Rank	Points	Behind
John	1	941	0
Bill	2	919	-22
Dave	3	853	-88
Lisa	4	835	-106
Carla	5	832	-109
Joe	6	831	-110
Carl	7	826	-115
Kim	8	817	-124
Sheri	9	760	-181

The BEHIND column is what I cannot get a correct calculation for. In pseudo code it would be

sum(rank = 1)Points minus sum(Points)

I need to show the number of points each player is behind the leader.

The main issue is that there can be multiple selections which give different players, ranks and points so I cannot hard code anything or pre-calculate anything as the selections change the data. So the calculation must be in the straight table.

All help is appreciated. Thanks

May be like this:

Sum(TOTAL {<Player = {"=Rank(Sum(Points)) < 2"}>}Points) - Sum(Points)

My bad, you might need this:

Sum(Points) - Sum(TOTAL {<Player = {"=Rank(Sum(Points)) < 2"}>} Points)

Awesome thanks so much. I appreciate it.

Yes, the second one is what I need.

You answered many of the other posts that I read trying to figure this out as well. Thanks for everything.
