Reference the 2nd and 3rd highest in range.
 
I have a spreadsheet of tables each references the MAX in each totals column
using the MAX function (e.g. =MAX(J8:J92)).
Using this I can conditionally format a column to highlight the highest just
by referencing the MAX cell.(=IF(J$7=0,"",(J32=J$7))

How would I add a conditional format for the second and third highest
numbers in a range?
I'd appreciate any feedback.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Have a look at LARGE in help

=LARGE(A1:A15,1)
=LARGE(A1:A15,2)

etc
