Return 2nd Lowest Value Q
 

The formula below returns the the name associated with the lowest
value in a range. How would I tweak this formula to return the 2nd
lowest value?

INDEX(A8:A34,MATCH(MIN(G8:G34),G8:G34,0))

Return 2nd Lowest Value Q
 

If your min value does not occur more than once:
=INDEX(A8:A34,MATCH(SMALL(G8:G34,2),G8:G34,))

Use the SMALL function, like this:

INDEX(A8:A34,MATCH(SMALL(G8:G34,2),G8:G34,0))

Change the 2 to 3, 4, 5 etc to get the next smallest.

Hope this helps.

Maybe


=INDEX(A8:A34,MATCH(LARGE(G8:G34,2),G8:G34,0))

OOPS, you said 2nd smallest so substitute Small for large

Thanks everyone

Return 2nd Lowest Value Q
 

This was very helpful for me however i need a little more help if possible. I
am analyzing statistics for a sport (hockey) sometimes two players could have
the same value as an example player 1 has 5 goals player 2 has 8 goals and
player 3 has 5 goals. The result of this formula takes player 1 each time as
the result. How can i tweak this formula to show all the players even if they
are tied and in order? As Player 2 - 8 player 1-5 player 3-5

Hi Randy,

have a look at this thread from a few days ago - it covers your
scenario exactly:

I'm not sure why everyone is so hung up on using formulas to
accomplish this. Why not use a PivotTable instead? It's faster and
easier, and once it's set up, all you have to do is refresh it each
time source data changes.

Well, Ilia, with formulae you don't have to refresh it ...

There certainly seems to have been quite a few related questions on
this just recently - perhaps now that seasons are underway the sports
fans want to track their teams.
