01. Find a smallest number in the range A2: A10

I found using this new function like the right result.

=SMALL(A32:A40,1)

=SMALL(A2:A10,COUNTIF(A2:A10,MAX(A2:A10))+0)

02. Find one of the largest in the range A2: A10

 I found using this new function like the right result.

=LARGE(A32:A40,1)

=LARGE(A3:A11,COUNTIF(A3:A11,MAX(A3:A11))+0)
