I can work around the zero's & ensure they're not in the array. Mainly it's
the multiple entries that cause a problem. I need to retrieve
1st,2nd,3rd,4th best values & I wouldn't need to see the duplicate values.
Thanks everyone...

Hi Rachel,

You can try following formula,

=SMALL(A1:A42,1+FREQUENCY(A1:A42,MIN(A1:A42)))

I'm using the SMALL formula to return 2nd smallest value in a range of

cells
& cells with same values in?
Thanks in advance
