Excel Facts

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Power Query will do the job
VBA Code:
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}}),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Changed Type", "Column1", Splitter.SplitTextByEachDelimiter({":"}, QuoteStyle.Csv, false), {"Column1.1", "Column1.2"}),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Column1.1", type text}, {"Column1.2", type text}}),
    #"Added Custom Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type1", "Custom", each let splitColumn11 = Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("’", QuoteStyle.None)([Column1.1]), splitColumn112 = List.Reverse(Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("’", QuoteStyle.None)([Column1.1])) in Text.Combine({Text.Middle(splitColumn11{1}?, 1, 3), Text.Middle(splitColumn11{1}?, 6, 1), Text.Middle(splitColumn11{1}?, 4, 1), Text.Middle(splitColumn112{0}?, 5)}), type text),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom Column",{"Column1.1"}),
    #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Removed Columns",{"Custom", "Column1.2"}),
    #"Inserted Merged Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Reordered Columns", "Merged", each Text.Combine({[Custom], [Column1.2]}, ":"), type text),
    #"Removed Columns1" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Inserted Merged Column",{"Custom", "Column1.2"})
