Using RankX with several columns

I have three columns that I want to use as input for a ranking (analysis of beacon data).

This is what I have (heading in black), and what I want to create (heading in red😞

Timestamp rank (because of duplicates)Timestamp difference (next timestamp)AreaRank I want to create
11 minArea 11
11 minArea 11
24 hoursArea 11
320 minArea 12
420 minArea 3

3

 

The rule is; the rank should change if the timestamp difference is > 3 hours OR if the area changes.

 

Can anyone help me with this?

 

Thanks

One point to clarify, according to your rules, shouldn't Timestamp rank 2 create a new rank in your calculation since the timestamp difference is 4 hours?

Hi smoupre - Thanks for your question.

 

The "timestamp difference" I created is the difference between the timestamp-value for the next rank (column A) and the timestamp value for the current row. Based on this, the next rank in the calculation should be given to rank+1 if the difference is over 3 hours.
