    Formula tol Neglecting the Smallest Value Across Rows

    Say you have this table...

    A B
    1 50 50
    2 45 50
    3 47 50
    4 50 50

    I want a formula that computes the sum of column A (SUM(A1:A4)) divided by the sum of column B (SUM(B1:B4)), without including the smallest value for A. For this example, the smallest value for A is 45, so I want a formula that would basically compute (50+47+50)/(50+50+50)

    Thanks

    Maybe:

    =(SUM(A:A)-SMALL(A:A,1)) / (SUM(B:B)-INDEX(B:B, MATCH(SMALL(A:A,1), A:A, 0))
