Second Smallest Number in a Set
 

It did not even occur to me to put the reference cells in parentheses, which
absolutely makes sense. Thanks to everyone for all of your help.

To expand on OssieMac's response... you can use single cell references as well)

=SMALL((A1,A4,A7:A11),2)

The key is to place the list of cell references in parentheses.

Hi again,

I missed the part ablut the non consecutive cells until I saw the post by
JLGWhiz. However, the following also works:

In the worksheet:
=SMALL((A1:D1,F1:G1,I1:J1,L1,N1:O1),2)

In VBA:
MsgBox WorksheetFunction.Small(Range("A1:D1,F1:G1,I1:J1,L 1,N1:O1"), 2)

Hi,

My testing indicates that Small does work.

On the worksheet: =SMALL(A1:O1,2)

In VBA: MsgBox WorksheetFunction.Small(Range("A1:O1"), 2)

Your quote: "I tried the SMALL function, but it only allows arrays". A range
is actually an array.

I need to find the second smallest number in a set of non-consecutive cells,
where all the cells are in the same row. I tried the SMALL function, but it
only allows arrays as inputs. I know I can use MIN to find the smallest, but
I am stumped on how to ge the second smallest. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.
