Large worked fine but is there a function to sum for example the three largest values in a range of six cells?

Hi Joe. This doesn’t sound like it would be too difficult to handle with a macro. Would you want to shift up the deleted number or just clear the cell of that value?

Hi,
I have a similar problem,
How can I find the largest number in a range of numbers in a single col, and delete that number from the cell leaving the rest of the numbers unchanged?
I will need to put this in a macro.

I’m having trouble using MATCH, LARGE, ADDRESS.

Thanks for the help
JOe

This is a tricky formula. Use the small formula in a similar manner to this:

=SMALL((B1:B10=5)*A1:A10,ROWS(B1:B10)-COUNTIF(B1:B10,5)+1)

where Column B contains the 4′s and 5′s and column A is the column of data you are trying to get the min from. After you enter this formula, you will have to hit Ctrl+Shirt+Enter to get it to work. Brackets {} will show up surrounding the formula in the formula bar if you have done it correctly.

Hope this helps,
John

How do i return a value in the first colum as the lowest number if the matching row value is 5 in the third column?

Thanks,
