Tarius, if the numbers are in different cells A1:G1 in this case use the
small function something like this
=SMALL(A1:G1,1) =SMALL(A1:G1,2) =SMALL(A1:G1,3)

You can also do it an array formula as follows...

assuming your data is in the range a1:g1..

select the number of cells you need.. (for the smallest two select
cells, for 3 smallest 3 cells. etc.)

=small(a1:g1,{1,2,3}) in any one of the the selected cells and then us
ctrl shift and enter instead of just enter..

If the sample is in A2:G2...

In A4 enter & copy across to C4:

=SMALL($A$2:$G$2,COLUMN()-COLUMN($A$4)+1)
