Hi,
I have a range of 10 numbers.
How can I get the sum of the 3 highest numbers in a range?
 
One way is

=LARGE(B2:B11,1)
=LARGE(B2:B11,2)
=LARGE(B2:B11,3)

put these formulas in A1, A2 and A3. B2:B11 is your 10 numbers you
wish to search.

hope it helps.
 
YES! in stead of an formula that is huge, I now have this little formula.
BIG THANKS

This was helpful. I am doing the same thing but will have ranges that are
not the same.

IE: Looking to sum the top 20 when some have 25#s & others have less than 20.

Halp!
 
=SUM(LARGE(A1:A100,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&MIN(20,COUNT(A1:A100))))))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.
