How do I use the SMALL command when I want it to look at values listed on different sheets? The problem is that it won't let me list more than one array like the minimum command allows me. Or is there some way to list cell numbers inside a bracketed array instead of values? For example, I can do:
=SMALL({6,23,5,2.3}, 2)
but I can't do:
=SMALL({A3,C5,D18,D21}, 2)
which is what I need to be able to do.
Is there another command I can use?

=SMALL((A3,C5,D18,D21), 2)

Use parentheses instead of braces.

Thanks,
What if my values are on different sheets, like for instance:
=SMALL((A3,C5,D18,Sheet2!A2,Sheet3!A1), 2)
It doesn't seem to work then.

If you download and install the morefunc.xll add-in (try google to
locate)...

=SMALL(ARRAY.JOIN(A3,C5,D18,Sheet2!A2,Sheet3!A1), 2)
