    How to find max value but removing outliers first.

    Hi,

    I have a data set such as [1,2,3,4,5,10,18,19,200]

    I want to find the maximum value after removing outliers.

    So I want 200 to be not included and to find out what 19 is.

    How do I do this?

    So, do you mean this:

    =LARGE(A1:A9,2)

    i.e. the second largest value?

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    Re: How to find max value but removing outliers first.

    I was looking for a more variable formula that accounts for a large data set where I have no visibility of the max values.

    I managed to use MAX and IF statement as an array formula so this problem is now solved.

    For those who are interested this is what I used:

    {=MAX(IF(rng1=criteria1,IF(rng2=criteria2,values)))}
