list of numbers
Hi Don,
If you mean each row will show the 1st, 2nd, 3rd largest, etc., disregarding
duplicates…. doesn't work for me.
Tested with this somewhat arbirtary data set:
1
1
1
5
5
8
9
9
11
11
Your formulas return:
11
9
9
8
5
5
5
1
1
1
1
(Even more values than were in the original list)

You can also use SMALL function like,
=SMALL(A:A,FREQUENCY(A:A,MAX(A:A)-1))
will give the 2nd largest number, even if you have duplicate or not.
