Hi!

I need some help. I want to find the second largest value in an MAXIFS function. My Maxifs function only returns the highest.

I've tried to use the large function around the maxifs but it didnt work. Any suggestions?

Thanks for helping!
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Something like this


Excel 2010
ABCDE
1namenumberbeth
2Rick199largest
3Bob28second largest
4Beth996thrid
5Bart41forth
6Jim5
7Beth6
8Rick7
9Beth8
10Beth1
Sheet1
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
D2{=LARGE(IF($D$1=$A$2:$A$10,$B$2:$B$10),1)}
D3{=LARGE(IF($D$1=$A$2:$A$10,$B$2:$B$10),2)}
D4{=LARGE(IF($D$1=$A$2:$A$10,$B$2:$B$10),3)}
D5{=LARGE(IF($D$1=$A$2:$A$10,$B$2:$B$10),4)}

Here is the data simplified.
I want to find the second highest value in colume L when colume J not contains 100,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,197,200,202,297.

In dataset above, i want the output to be 150, since J4 is 102.


I really appreciate all the help. Been cracking my brains out over this.

Hi, welcome to the forum!

How about something like this..:


Excel 2013/2016
JKLMN
1Sort.NrNavnVolum
21400301150
32400150
41020200
5200050
Sheet1
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
N2=AGGREGATE(14,6,(L2:L5)/(1-ISNUMBER(MATCH(J2:J5,{100,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,197,200,202,297},0))),2)

Just to add to what FormR posted if you want the largest, 2nd largest, 3rd largest... then you can use rows for the k value so that it increments as you drag it down.

Code:
=IFERROR(AGGREGATE(14,6,($L$2:$L$5)/(1-ISNUMBER(MATCH($J$2:$J$5,$Q$2:$Q$16,0))),ROWS(H$2:H2)),"")

Thanks a lot!!

This worked fine. Had to make a list with the numbers since the {} syntax didnt work in Norwegian Excel.

Great, glad it worked :)

It's arguably better to list the numbers on the sheet anyway but if you really wanted to use the array constant you could try one of these instead.

{100;101;102;103;104;105;106;107;108;109;110;197;200;202;297}
Or
{100\101\102\103\104\105\106\107\108\109\110\197\200\202\297}

Thank you!
