Hi all,

I’m looking to present the ranking of an item in the description of a big number.

Here’s the scenario:

1. Presenting data on hotels in various states.
2. I have a big number sharing the number of rooms for each hotel.
3. In the description of the big number, I want to display the ‘ranking’ in the state. So the hotel with 1,000 beds would have the description ‘#1 in state’.

Can someone help me with the calculation I need to plug into the data sheet, please?

How do you determine the ranking?  
Is it purely based on the number of beds, or are there other factors?

Hey Darren, I’ll have several numbers I want to determine the ranking for. So I want to show its individual ranking in each category in different big numbers:

- Most beds
- Most reviews
- Oldest

Etc
