taking out lowest 2 values
Hi, I'm new. Okay, so I'm being a little lazy in that I could sit here and search threads until i'm blue in the face -- but blue's not a good color for me. So here's my question: I want to sum a range of data, but then take off the 2 lowest values. how do I do it? -- georgette ------------------------------------------------------------------------ georgette's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30289 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=499576 |

Hi Georgette
One way =SUM(A1:A100)-SMALL(A1:A100,1)-SMALL(A1:A100,2) -- Regards Roger Govier "georgette" wrote in message ... Hi, I'm new.

=sum(a1:a100)-min(a1:a100)-small(a1:a100,2)
or since you're lazy: =SUM(A1:A100)-SUM(SMALL(A1:A100,{1,2})) georgette wrote: Hi, I'm new.
