hello everyone, i've been trying to figure out what formula i can use to
find 3 highest values in a row. in my case am trying to compile student
marks to get only the best 3 into a cell, i was able to get the highest
only 1 but i need all the three values. see the attached image

thanks alot

=LARGE(A2:Z2,1)
=LARGE(A2:Z2,2)
=LARGE(A2:Z2,3)

if you want to sum them, use

=SUM(LARGE(A1:Z1,{1,2,3}))
