Maybe you could use format|conditional formatting to highlight those cells?
Select your range (I used A1:A20) and with A1 the activecell format|conditional formatting formula is =A1=LARGE(A:A,3) This will highlight all the values that are greater than the 3rd highest value (watch what happens with ties).

"that are greater than" should have been "that are greater than or equal to"
