How to pick the second largest value in a data set?
I'm working on a spreadsheet now, and I'm trying to pull out the
second largest value from a set of numbers. For instance, let's say that I have this series of numbers: 10 8 10 7 10 8 5 4 1 1 4 I want to know that the second largest number is an eight. By using MAX, I was able to get that the largest number is 10, but I couldn't find a way to give me the second maximum number. I tried LARGE, but Excel won't accept =LARGE(A1:A11, "<10") as an argument in this case. Is there another way that I can perform this function? It seems rather simple, but I couldn't find anything on it in the books. Thanks! |
