in a1: 57
in a2: 35
in a3: 22

these numbers may change.

In c1 and c2 will be 2 of those numbers.
What is the most eficient formula in c3 to display the third number.


In addition, if in a vba code i have 2 variables, each with a different value from a1:a3. How do i get 3rd variable to be the other value?

Thank you.

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
Confirm with Ctrl+Shift+Enter:
=INDEX(A1:A3,MATCH(1,--ISERROR(MATCH(A1:A3,C1:C2,0)),0))

For your VBA query, it's probably easiest to loop through the range of cells and compare them to the variables, e.g

Code:
 For Each c in rng
If c <> var1 and c<>var2 Then
var3 = c
Exit For
End If
