Hi
I am trying to write a formula using the two lowest numbers from a selection
where say x=lowest and y=second lowest

=x+y

any suggestions?

ps. x and y may sometimes be the same number

Try this:

=SMALL(range,1)+SMALL(range,2)

Fill in your range of cells.

Hope this helps.

Hi Muz

Try:
=SUMPRODUCT(SMALL(range,{1,2}))

Don't need SP< SUM is sufficient

=SUM(SMALL(rng,{1,2}))
