I am trying to rank my students by their points that I've calculated before
but the problem is if students have same points they both should be in same rank
E.g
Student 1 has full points
Student 2 has full points
they both have to be rank as 1;
Here an example of my database
the query I am trying to do is (just for select then I can insert the values to my column)
SELECT a.points
count(b.points)+1 as rank
FROM examresults a left join examresults b on a.points>b.points
group by a.points;
Edit for being more clear:
Student 1 points 80
Student 2 points 77.5
Student 3 points 77.5
Student 4 points 77
their ranks should be like
Student 1 Rank 1
Student 2 Rank 2
Student 3 Rank 2
Student 4 Rank 3
my current query returns a values like
As it is missing the third rank. (because second rank has 2 values)

This is just a fix of Gordon solution using variables. The thing is your rank function isnt the way rank should work. (student 4 should be rank 4)
You can add more student to improve the testing.
select er.*,
(@rank := if(@points = points,
@rank,
if(@points := points,
@rank + 1,
@rank + 1
)
)
) as ranking
from students er cross join
(select @rank := 0, @points := -1) params
order by points desc;
OUTPUT
| id | points | ranking |
|----|--------|---------|
| 1 | 80 | 1 |
| 2 | 78 | 2 |
| 3 | 78 | 2 |
| 4 | 77 | 3 |
| 5 | 66 | 4 |
| 6 | 66 | 4 |
| 7 | 66 | 4 |
| 8 | 15 | 5 |
