    How do I code to return the lowest 2 number is a list of cells

    This is a simple question. I have a list of numbers (6 rows) and I want to write a formula or code something to return the lowest two numbers in the list in the seventh row. If there a function or formula I can use or do I need to write some code? If code is needed, can anyone help?

    Try using =small()
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    Re: How do I code to return the lowest 2 number is a list of cells

    I need the two smallest numbers in the list. Is there a way to have something return this value. I actually need the total of the two lowest numbers. For instance, if the list of cells included 3,4,4,3,4,5,6,3, I need the formula or code to return 7. Any suggestions?

    Did you even try what I suggested?

    =SMALL(A1:A8,1)+SMALL(A1:A8,2)
