Default 2nd and 3rd last number in a column - how to get it?

Hi there,
I currently have a table from columns V3 to AM1000. The cells contain
numbers varying from 0 to 50. I have a formula in place that calculates the
last number in the column:

=LOOKUP(2,1/(V$3:V$1000<""),V$3:V$1000)

what I'm looking for is 2 formulas,
- one that will return the 2nd last number in the column into cell AP3
- one that will return the 3rd last number in the column into cell AQ3

Ex.

ColumnV looks like the following:

0
1
0
1
2
3
0
0

Now, my forumla gives my 0 as the last number. I would like AP3 to show the
2nd last number (0) and AQ3 to show (3) as it's the 3rd last number.

Thanks!
Matt
