... now if I could just figure out how to delete a double post.

Used two tools: 

Sort: count (descending); First (ascending - not necessary but did it anyway)

Multi-Row Formula: "IF [Row-1:count]!=[count] THEN [Row-1:Rank]+1 ELSE [Row-1:Rank] ENDIF"

gmitch22,

 

This is good. However, in many cases, clients wish to see rankings like this (example): 1,2,2,4,5,6,6,6,9,10. This formula would produce an output that looks like this (example): 1,2,2,3,4,5,5,5,6,7. Using the record ID tool, each row can be given a number (after using the sort tool), so the number of record are preserved. Something like this in the multi-field formula tool:

 

IF [RecordID] = 1 THEN 1
ELSEIF [Row-1:count]=[count] THEN [Row-1:Rank]
ELSE [RecordID]
ENDIF

 

If there are subgroups that need to be ranked, a filter can be applied to each subgroup (after being sorted), each of those given a record ID, and the results can then be unioned together, and the aforementioned formula can then be applied in the multi-field formula tool to resolve tiebreakers and preserve the number of records. Hope this helps!

1. Sorted by count
2. Used the multi row formula tool to calculate the ranks
3. Filtered where rank <= 5
