Hello,

I'm hoping this isn't too complicated but here's what I'm trying to accomplish with no avail.

I have numbers in rows B, C ,D and E. I am trying to write a macro in excel that will populate column F based on the following:

2nd lowest number if there are 4 non-zero numbers, the middle number if 3 non-zero numbers, the lowest of 2 numbers if there are 2 non-zero numbers, 1 of 1 if there is only one non-zero number.

If it's too complicated to consider non-zero numbers, I could always replace 0s with a blank cell beforehand to make that easier.

The one caveat is duplicate numbers would need to count towards the formula i.e. 5/5/5/4 would result in a value of 5, not 4.

5
5
5 - 2nd lowest of 4
4

e.g.


ABCDEF - result

Is this it?

Code:
Sub jmk1132()
Dim lr, i As Long
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To lr
 If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("B" & i & ":E" & i), 0) = 0 Then
   Cells(i, "F") = WorksheetFunction.Small(Range("B" & i & ":E" & i), 2)
 ElseIf WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("B" & i & ":E" & i), 0) = 1 Then
 Cells(i, "F") = WorksheetFunction.Large(Range("B" & i & ":E" & i), 2)
 ElseIf WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("B" & i & ":E" & i), 0) = 2 Then
   Cells(i, "F") = WorksheetFunction.Small(Range("B" & i & ":E" & i), 3)
 Else
   Cells(i, "F") = WorksheetFunction.Small(Range("B" & i & ":E" & i), 4)
 End If
Next i
End Sub

Thank you. I didn't realize excel function would be able to handle that!

 End If
Next i
End Sub
Yes, this code worked like a charm. Thank you for the assistance!
