All of us in the office use Excel 2007, but when some of us hover and hold our left mouse down between the columns or rows we can see the actual measurement displayed. Does anyone know how to turn this feature on? I have have gone through all the "Excel Options" and can't figure it out.

Feeling kinda silly not knowing how to do this!

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

I am not sure why you are asking that question because, as far as I know, it is always on... I do not think you can turn ever it off. The key is to left click the line separating the columns or rows within the header area (where the column letters or row numbers are displayed).
