FormulaDescriptionResultExpectedVerdict
=RANK(30,A1:A5) Default/omitted order ranks descending (largest=1) 2 2
Only 40 is greater than 30, so 30 is rank 2		 Matched
=RANK(30,A1:A5,1) Nonzero order argument ranks ascending (smallest=1) 4 4
10,20,20 are all less than 30, so 30 is rank 4 ascending		 Matched
=RANK(20,A1:A5) Tied values share the same (best/top) rank 3 3
Two values (30,40) exceed 20, so both 20s tie for rank 3; rank 4 is skipped entirely		 Matched
