    Selecting Max Values

    I'm trying to create a formula that searches through a row and selects certain values. I have a list of individuals in rows followed by their 18 scores in columns. What I'm trying to do is only select the best 8 of those scores and add them together. I tried a few things but this is a little over my head.

    Thanks,
    Dave

    =SUM(LARGE(range,ROW(A1:A8)))

    comfirmed with ctrl+shift+enter

    In V2 and copy down, =SUM(LARGE(B2:U2, {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} ) )
