Weighted Scores: for each series, I take the manga volume rankings (not just the top 500 but all 1229 individual volumes this week), use the score of the top ranked volume of a given series as a base, and then add one tenth of the scores for all other volumes of the series that appear in the list.
Actually, it looks more like this
=IF(F2=F1;L2+O1;L2)
=IF(F2=F3;” “;IF(F2=F1;(L2+(O1/10));L2))
but you really need the spreadsheet & data in front of you to get anything from that
