Highlight Top 10 Ranks in Single or Each Column in Google Sheets

To highlight the top 10 ranks in Google Sheets, we can use the RANK or LARGE functions. These powerful formulas allow us to highlight the top 10 ranks in a single column or in each column separately, even if there are values in multiple columns.

RANK Formula to Highlight Top 10 Ranks in Columns

Single Column

Let’s start with a single column. If we have values in column B that we want to highlight up to the top 10 ranks, we can use the following RANK formula:

=RANK(B2,B$2:B)<=10

In this formula, B2 is the first cell in the range, and B$2:B represents the range of values in column B. The formula will determine the rank of each value in column B and highlight those that are within the top 10 ranks.

Each Column

To highlight the top 10 values in each column, we can still use the same RANK formula. The formula is designed to adapt to the ranges selected. For example, if we want to highlight values in columns B, C, and D, we can select the range B2:D and apply the highlighting rule.

LARGE Formula to Highlight Top 10 Ranks in Columns

In addition to the RANK formula, we can also use the LARGE formula in Google Sheets. The LARGE formula works similarly to the RANK formula and can be used to highlight the top 10 ranks in single or multiple columns.

Here’s an example of the LARGE formula:

=B2>=LARGE(B$2:B,10)

Again, we can adjust the range B$2:B to include multiple columns if needed.

Highlight Top 10 Values in Ascending Order

The previous conditional format rules assign rank #1 to the maximum value in a column. If we want to assign rank #1 to the least value (smallest value) in a column, we can modify the formulas as follows:

For the RANK formula:

=RANK(B2,B$2:B,1)<=10

And for the LARGE formula, we should change the function to SMALL:

=B2<=SMALL(B$2:B,10)

By making these changes, we can highlight the top 10 ranks in ascending or descending order in Google Sheets.
