Thanks Steve, great question and an opportunity to learn. And I guess for some an opportunity to grump as well.

The answer was clear and the numbers used were fine. I thought the 1,2,3,3,4 was just an example of the list with no spacing so it was between rank and rank dense. In looking at the difference between the two rank dense was the right choice.

I guess I have gotten to the point where I ask what is most right, not just sorta right according to the sample given.

Again thanks, I had to think but got it.
