One way is

=LARGE(B2:B11,1)
=LARGE(B2:B11,2)
=LARGE(B2:B11,3)

put these formulas in A1, A2 and A3. B2:B11 is your 10 numbers you
wish to search.

hope it helps.

This was helpful. I am doing the same thing but will have ranges that are
not the same.

IE: Looking to sum the top 20 when some have 25#s & others have less than 20.

=SUM(LARGE(A1:A100,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&MIN(20,COUNT( A1:A100))))))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.
