I'm using Conditional Formatting with the MAX formula:

=A1=MAX($A$2:$A$222)

to find and highlight the highest value in the A column range


How can I do the same to highlight the second largest value in the column?


Thanks for the help!

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.

Or try:

=A1=MAX(($A$1:$A$222<>MAX($A$1:$A$222))*$A$1:$A$222)

10
9
10
10

Great!

How do I use this with an ArrayFormula so it checks for the highest in blocks of 10 down the column?

A1-A10
A11-A20 etc

This doesn't seem to work =ArrayFormula(A2=LARGE($A$2:$A$12,2))
