GE,

=SUM(A1:A4) - MIN(A1:A4)

or

=SUM(A1:A4) - MAX(A1:A4)

depending on what "Best" means (highest or lowest).

And we generally can't read your mind to know exactly what "etc." means.....

Frank,

Not sure what character set you're using ;-)

=SUM(LARGE(A1:A100,{1,2,3}))

I think something got lost in Franks' post when it hit the NG I am sure it
should be

=SUM(LARGE(A1:A100,{1,2,3}))

Doubt it, not close enough. It looks like something happened en-route.
