=MAX(IF(A1:A9<LARGE(A1:A9,1),A1:A9))

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

Download and install Longre's free morefunc.xll add-in from
http://xcell05.free.fr

Then use this formula:

=LARGE(UNIQUEVALUES(rng),2)

What does "didn't work" mean, exactly?

It is difficult to troubleshoot with such a nebulous description of the
problem.

So far as what to change to get at the third, fourth, etc., look at HELP for
the LARGE command.
