Default calculate discounts on lower fees

Thanks, I get that but how do I get to the next step and figure the discount?

A1 B1 C1 D1
sub tot 1000 2000 500 0
5%dis

Now I need to choose the 2nd, 3rd,4th lowest sub totals and apply 5%
discount on each and then reduce the subtotals by the discount. I want to
ignore the highest and the zero. It is possible for all 4 to be the same
amount in which case 3 out of 4 get a discount.
Also, if there is only 1 sub tot then no calculation necessary.

Any advice?

I have 3 amounts and I need to calculate a discount on the 2nd and 3rd

lowest
fees. They may all be the same amount or they may be different. There

may
only be 1 amount in which case there is no discount. Any suggestions?
