How to rank arrays of numbers.(Power Automate Cloud flows)
Steps
Power Automate alone is too much work, so we will utilize an Excel sheet.
Create a table with the items "Value" and "Rank" on the sheet for calculation.
No data rows are required.
Place this Excel file in a location that can be accessed by Power Automate, such as OneDrive.
Prepare array variables.
Repeat the items of the array variable with "Apply to each".
The rank is calculated using the RANK.EQ function.
Set up "Add a row into a table" in "Apply to each" and specify the following
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Location Document Library File Table | The location of the target Excel file and the table name. |
| Value | Current item |
| Rank | =RANK.EQ([@Value],[Value]) |
Executing this flow will set the ranking on the Excel sheet.
The contents of this Excel file are retrieved by "List rows present in a table".
This allows Power Automate to retrieve the rankings.
