when there is a non runner does your excel produce signs like ## or #n/a etc?
if yes, probably you will have to check your formulas and add and if statement
for example
if in R column you have =f5 replace the formula with something like
=if(f5="","",f5) etc
also you can replace the ranking formula with this one from Osknows
=IF(F5="","",(RANK(F5,$F$5:$F$55,1)+COUNTIF($F$5:F5,F5)-1))
finally this formula count the horses without non runners if it helps
=COUNTA(A5:A55)-COUNTIF(A5:A55,"*(NR)*")
