Default Question about returning some values from highest to lowest

enter this formula in C1 and copy down as needed:
=LARGE(A$1:A$10,ROWS(C$1:C1))


Did you try it? The key phrase is *copy down as needed*.

As you drag copy down it will return the nth largest value. The ROWS()
function will increment like this:

=LARGE(A$1:A$10,ROWS(C$1:C1)) = large 1
=LARGE(A$1:A$10,ROWS(C$1:C2)) = large 2
=LARGE(A$1:A$10,ROWS(C$1:C3)) = large 3
=LARGE(A$1:A$10,ROWS(C$1:C4)) = large 4
etc
etc
