I am trying to utilize points earned by reporting with a tie breaker of the fastest report to rank participants in a tournament. I have unexpected values for the TIES argument in my Rankx function. I am not sure how to correct my error here. Since there are multiple simulations for participants to earn points, I need to remove duplicates by e-mail adress.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated by this newbie. 🙂

Otherwise, Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
