Default how can i identify three highest values in a column (not sort)

"that are greater than" should have been "that are greater than or equal to"

Maybe you could use format|conditional formatting to highlight those cells?

Select your range
(I used A1:A20)
and with A1 the activecell
format|conditional formatting
formula is
=A1=LARGE(A:A,3)

This will highlight all the values that are greater than the 3rd highest value
(watch what happens with ties).
