LARGE

LARGE(array, k)

Returns the kth largest value in a list or array of numbers.

arrayThe array for which you want to determine the Kth largest value.
kThe position from the largest to return.

REMARKS
* You can use this function to select a value based on its relative standing.
* An alternative way to find the Kth largest value is just to sort the data into descending order.
* Any text or non numerical values are ignored.
* Any duplicate numbers are counted the same as values that are different. Examples 4,5,6,7,8.
* If "array" is empty, then #NUM! is returned. See Example 18.
* If "k" <= 0, then #NUM! is returned. See Example 20.
* If "k" = 1, then the largest value is returned.
* If "k" = length of the "array", then the smallest value is returned.
* If "k" > length of the "array", then #NUM! is returned. Example 21.
* You can use the SMALL function to return the kth smallest value in a list or array of numbers.
* You can use the MAX function to return the largest value in a list of array of numbers.
* You can use the MIN function to return the smallest value in a list of array of numbers.

1 - What is the 3rd largest number in this array.
2 - What is the 4th largest number in this array.
3 - What is the 5th largest number in this array.
4 - What is the 1st largest number in this array when there are 2 duplicates.
5 - What is the 2nd largest number in this array when there are 2 duplicates.
6 - What is the 3rd largest number in this array when there are 2 duplicates.
7 - What is the 4th largest number in this array when there are 2 duplicates.
8 - What is the 5th largest number in this array when there are 2 duplicates.
18 - If "array" is empty, then #NUM! is returned.
19 - If "k" <= 0 then #NUM! is returned.
20 - If "k" > length of the "array", then #NUM! is returned. The total length of the "array" is 4 because the text entry is ignored.
21 - If "k" > length of the "array", then #NUM! is returned.
