Use the Large() function of Excel. For example, the below formula returns the 3rd largest number in the cell range A1:A10.
=LARGE(A1:A10, 3) To get the 4th largest value in the cell range B1:B100, type the below formula: =LARGE(B1:B100, 4) The Small() function returns the specified smallest number in the given array. For example, the below formula returns the 7th smallest value in the range P201:P500. =SMALL(P201:P500, 7) Let me know if this helps or if you need more inputs.
