Fill Nulls in Rank Order Without Breaking Current Rank System

sheathington
6 - Meteoroid

Hello,

 

I have ranked the first 6 records according to various requirements (see two double 1's and 3's) and I'd like to keep these rankings, but now I've joined some additional records (see last two) where I need to identify their ranking to be 7 then 8.  I've tried using a Multi-Row Formula but I continue to get an error that field "" is missing: If IsNull ([Rank]) then [Row-1: Rank] +1 else [Rank] endif

 

I'm new to the Multi-Row formula so could be I'm not using it properly, but essentially I want the formula to look at the record above and then add 1...should be simple?

 

Does anyone have a solution on how I can easily add these two rankings?
