SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on developing a formula to weight the "12 Month Median Ranking of Opponent" in tennis player statistics. The goal is to adjust the significance of the "12 Month Service Points Won" based on the opponent's ranking, highlighting that a player achieving the same service points percentage against a lower-ranked opponent is statistically superior. The conversation emphasizes the need for a mathematical approach to incorporate opponent ranking into performance metrics effectively.

I have the following table.

I would like to know how to give an weight to the "12 Month Median Ranking of Opponent" so it changes other two columns depending on how high/low the ranking is.
To put this into perspective, this is regarding tennis players. On the spreadsheet I can have two players facing each other that have the same "12 Month Service Points Won" of 40%. Although Player A has a "12 Month Median Ranking of Opponent" of 300 and Player B of 100. Although the percentages are the same the player who managed to get a 40% "12 Month Service Points Won" against an "12 Month Median Ranking of Opponent" of 100 is extremely better than Player A that managed to get the same 40% against a "12 Month Median Ranking of Opponent" of 300.
I would like a formula to tackle this issue.

Let me know if I wasn't clear on any of my explanation.

I would like to come up with a formula that takes the ranking of opponent into account, giving more or less value to the other two columns.
