Default Find 2 highest point to form resistance line

Hi Bernard,
Can you advise why it does not work when I add a row in 1, although I have
changed from
=MAX(INDIRECT("A"&MATCH(E1,A1:A7,0)+1&":A7"))
to
=MAX(INDIRECT("A"&MATCH(E2,A2:A8,0)+1&":A8"))
?
Thanks
Elton

With your data in A1:B7
In E1 the max is found with =MAX(A1:A7)
The next largest number that is later in the column is found with
=MAX(INDIRECT("A"&MATCH(E1,A1:A7,0)+1&":A7"))
If the max is the last item then E1 and F1 will hve the same value
To get "No Line"
=IF(MATCH(E1,A1:A7,0)=7,"no
line",MAX(INDIRECT("A"&MATCH(E1,A1:A7,0)+1&":A7")) )
best wishes

Dear expert,

Have left a post for finding 2 lowest point for form a support line.
Now, would like to find 2 highest point to form a resistance line.
Data is from an array for formula.

In this case, should choose 91.27 and 87.96 to form resistance line.
Although 89.95 is higher than 87.96, line is forward plotting.

Is it possible?
If the highest in last row, can show "No line".
Thanks

52.35 26-Jan-10
59.87 18-Feb-10
89.95 26-Feb-10
85.41 05-Mar-10
91.27 10-Mar-10
87.96 23-Mar-10
36.69 29-Mar-10
