LARGE function
Numbers
The number array from which the nth largest number is returned.
N
The position of the number to return, in a version of the given array sorted in descending order.
Returns
The nth largest number in the given array, where n is given as the second parameter.
Returns the nth largest number in the given array, where n is given as the second parameter.
Examples
Returns 14, which is the second largest number in the { 22, 5, 3, 14 }{ 22; 5; 3; 14 } array.
Returns 14, which is the second largest number in the { 22, 5, 3, 14 }{ 22; 5; 3; 14 } array. This formula is equivalent to LARGE({ 22, 5, 3, 14 }, 2)LARGE({ 22; 5; 3; 14 }; 2). It first sorts the array in descending order, resulting in the array { 22, 14, 5, 3 }{ 22; 14; 5; 3 }, and then selects the second element of that array.
