Default LARGE with text string


I have the following formula that works.

=INDEX(A34:D39,MATCH(LARGE($D$34:$D$39,4),$D$34:$D $39,0),1)


However when trying to change the the LARGE function to the SMALL
function I am running in to difficulty. The reason for the problem is
that the string the SMALL function is a text string. For example
4900-. 4900 with a trailing negative sign instead of a positive sign.
I need the SMALL to take the two highest digits beginning from the left
and then determine the smallest.

Thanks,

ep
