    Finding 6 highest value cells out of a single row?

    Hi, I'm trying to create a workbook that will allow me to track my golf syndicates scores across a whole year and one of the spreadsheets needs to be able to identify and add the 6 highest value cells in a row. Can anyone help?

    Try:

    =SUM(LARGE(A1:A100,{1,2,3,4,5,6}))

    adjust the range to suit your data

    Thanks

    But unfortunately that did not work. Perhaps my explanation was not clear? If in row 1, I have scores in cells A1, B1, C1, D1 etc up to J1 and want to add up in K1 the 6 highest values from those cells what would the formula be?

    You would have to change the range in the formula....and of course you would have to have at least 6 filled in cells within that range....
