Hi

Try this formula:

=(LARGE(B1:B80,1)+LARGE(B1:B89,2)+LARGE(B1:B80,3)+ LARGE(B1:B80,4)+LARGE(B1:B80,5))/5

Regards,
Per

Ooops!

Technically not a typo, but not a native Excel function.

MMAX is a function in the Morefunc add-in. So, if the poster has the
Morefunc add-in installed then it'll work.
