a sum of #'s minus the lowest two values
sum(a3:j3)-min(a3:j3)
I know how to not factor in the least number from a string (as shown above) but how do I change the formula to not consider the 2 least values? I am using Excel 2000 Thanks |

Try something like this:
=SUM(A1:A10)-SUM(SMALL(A1:A10,{1,2})) Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Rynefan" wrote: sum(a3:j3)-min(a3:j3) I know how to not factor in the least number from a string (as shown above) but how do I change the formula to not consider the 2 least values?

I'm sure there are shorter methods but this one works.

Interesting variation of the formula I posted:
=SUM(A1:A10,-SMALL(A1:A10,{1,2})) *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Ron Coderre" wrote: Try something like this: =SUM(A1:A10)-SUM(SMALL(A1:A10,{1,2})) Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Rynefan" wrote: sum(a3:j3)-min(a3:j3) I know how to not factor in the least number from a string (as shown above) but how do I change the formula to not consider the 2 least values?
