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) | Area | Rank I want to create |
| 1 | 1 min | Area 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 min | Area 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 4 hours | Area 1 | 1 |
| 3 | 20 min | Area 1 | 2 |
| 4 | 20 min | Area 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.
