Default Conditional Format?

Well, if you have 3 values that happen to be the minumum, those are
the 3 smallest values - you will find the next largest value with a
parameter of 4, so instead of using a specific number you can use
COUNTIF for the smallest number and then add 1 onto it, something like
this:

=SMALL(A1:A10,COUNTIF(A1:A10,SMALL(A1:A10,1))+1)

This will find the second smallest numerical value in A1:A10, even if
you have several that are equal to the minimum.

Hope this helps.

Use the SMALL function, with a parameter of 2 to get the second
smallest - XL Help describes it well.


Hope this helps.

I have a list of values (approx 30) of which some may repeat.


I wish to set cell pattern of "next to lowest" value.


=MIN(myrange) will set cell pattern containing lowest value, but I need to
be 1 click up from MIN value ... (I need to set cell pattern of "next to
lowest" value(s)).


Solutions? ... Thanks ... Kha- Hide quoted text -
