Default displaying 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in one cell

I've used the 'large' function to determine the first three largest values in
a set of numbers. Now I would like to display those values in one cell. For
example, I would like to display the top three values as 80, 73, 62.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Concatenate the three formulas. For example...

=LARGE(A1:A10,1)&", "&LARGE(A1:A10,2)&", "&LARGE(A1:A10,3)

Assuming there will *always* be at least 3 numbers in your set of numbers...

A1:A10 numbers

=MAX(A1:A10)&", "&LARGE(A1:A10,2)&", "&LARGE(A1:A10,3)
