My colleagues who used Excel 2013/2016 told me that, after they pasted text into a cell, tabs in the text got converted to spaces automatically. My Excel 2019 does not have such an issue.

Is it possible to prevent the said automatic conversion from happening?

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
