Default Look for Min and second Min


Hi Steve,

In this case, I would to get the lowest (which is very easy) and then get
the second lowest after the lowest is formed in date squenece.
I get the result which are 18.25 on 9 Feb and 24.59 on 1 April 2010.
In theory, the lowest is 18.25 and second min is 21.36 in the series.
But I need the second low after the the first low is done.
So the only second smallest after 18.25 should be 24.59.
21.36 should be ignored. Can any function be done this. thanks indeed for
help. Thanks

21.36 22-Jan-10
35.04 28-Jan-10
36.34 02-Feb-10
18.25 09-Feb-10
57.50 19-Feb-10
67.52 02-Mar-10
26.85 18-Mar-10
24.59 01-Apr-10

Dear expert,
Have posted a similar message before, but look like no one replied.
Lat me try the last time as I found the previous post was not clear
enough.

I'm looking for the min and the second lowest (after the first min is
found).
In thie case, I hope I can use function to sort out 24.59 after the
lowest
18.25 is formed.
18.25 is easy ... just the problem of 24.59 ....
Thanks indeed.
