    Second highest using maxifs

    Hi,
    I am using maxifs with multiple criteria. It's really convenient in order to find the highest value.
    I wonder if there is any simple way to use maxifs to find the second highest value?
    Thanks

    Re: Second highest using maxifs

    It would be better to use AGGREGATE with LARGE

    the above illustrates how to return 2nd highest value from A1:A10 where corresponding value in Col B is "apple", and Col C is "banana"

    If you need more detailed assistance please provide your current MAXIFS calculation.

    Re: Second highest using maxifs

    Or
    For the lack of MAXIFS function you may use this regular formula:
    Enter in J6 and copy down

    Re: Second highest using maxifs

    Thans guys, it's really good to know more than one way to solve a problem.. and here we got three.

    @Alkey, I was surprised to see that the formula is not an array forumula.. so it's really simple for those who are not familiar with the CTRL+ALT+ENTER..
