    Question Max formula to return total of highest, second highest and third highest value

    I am looking for a formula that will add together the highest value with the second highest and third highest.

    The values will be in Row A to J.
    The values will be from 1 to 10.

    Is this possible?

    Try this...

    =SUM(LARGE(A1:J1,{1,2,3}))

    Do you mean columns A to J and is there a result per row?

    Try ......

    =LARGE($A$1:$J$10,1)+LARGE($A$1:$J$10,2)+LARGE($A$1:$J$10,3)

    Not certain of the range you require

    Hi Jon,

    If your numbers are in A1 to J1 this formula will work

    =SUM(LARGE($A$1:$J$1,1),LARGE($A$1:$J$1,2),LARGE($A$1:$J$1,3))

    If you have a two dimension array like A1 to J10 then this will do ya.

    =SUM(LARGE($A$1:$J$10,1),LARGE($A$1:$J$10,2),LARGE($A$1:$J$10,3))
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.
