Default Dropping lowest 2 values

Suppose the 24 columns are A-X and your current
sums are in Y, e.g.with formula ==SUM(A1:X1).
Then change that formula to, or put in another cell:
=SUM(A1:X1)-SMALL(A1:X1,1)-SMALL(A1:X1,2)

HTH,
Merjet

IF you prefer, you could combine the last two terms:

=SUM(A1:M1)-SUM(SMALL(A1:M1,{1,2}))
