    Wink Search list find two greatest values

    I am trying to find a function that will search a column of values and find the two greatest values. Even better, if the function could add those two values together to give the result I would be smiling!

    Thanks

    A simple way could be this.

    =LARGE(A2:A10,1)+LARGE(A2:A10,2)
