    Cool Second Highest number in a column?

    I'm trying to find a formula to tell me what the second highest number of a column is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You so Much.

    Try

    =LARGE(A:A,2)

    Change 2 to 3 for 3rd highest etc

    Use this if you wish to list them

    =LARGE(A:A,ROW(A1))

    Change A1 to A2 to start at the 2nd highest

    If your column contains these numbers, which is the second highest?

    7,6,7,8,6,8,

    If the answer should be 8 then

    =LARGE(A1:A6,2)

    If the answer should be 7

    =LARGE(A1:A6,COUNTIF(A1:A6,MAX(A1:A6))+1)
