Formulas

I am currently using Excel 2000. Here is my situation. I have a column of numbers starting at C2:C5. I need to find the largest value, remove it and re-calculate the column of numbers to find the next largest value. I can use the MAX command to initially find the largest value, but I am having a hard time figuring out how to remove that initial value and re-calculate to find the next largest number. Please send me a email with the answer.

Thanks, Ron

Use the LARGE function.

=LARGE(A1:A100,2)

This will give you the second largest value from A1:A100.
