Default Simpler Formula ... 2nd lowest value?

Excel2003 ... I have from 1-5 random numbers (format 2 decimal places). In a
separate column (Col I) I wish to always have the 2 lowest value from the
random numbers ... The following formula achieves this for me, but I am
thinking there might be a simpler way of writing??? One clarifier ... In the
following Formula Col H contains a Qty which I wish to multiply the 2nd
lowest value in Range C12:G12 by.

=IF(MIN(C12:G12)=MAX(C12:G12),MAX(C12:G12)*H12,IF( SMALL(C12:G12,2)MIN(C12:G12),SMALL(C12:G12,2)*H12 ,IF(SMALL(C12:G12,3)MIN(C12:G12),SMALL(C12:G12,3) *H12,IF(SMALL(C12:G12,4)MIN(C12:G12),SMALL(C12:G1 2,4)*H12,(MAX(C12:G12)*H12)))))

Thanks ... Kha
