Discover how to find the top 4 highest value and lowest value in Excel.

Excel is a powerful tool for data analysis, and finding the top values in a dataset is a common task. One way to find the top 3 values in Excel is by using the sort filter and the LARGE function. First, select the range of cells containing the data you want to analyze. Next, click on the "Data" tab and select "Sort Largest to Smallest" to sort the data in descending order. Then, use the LARGE function to find the top 3 values. The syntax for the LARGE function is "=LARGE(array, k)", where "array" is the range of cells containing the data and "k" is the ranking of the value you want to find. To find the largest value, use "=LARGE(array,1)", and for the second largest, use "=LARGE(array,2)", and so on. Repeat the formula for the third largest value, and you'll have your top 3 values.

00:00Alright, from your dataset, let's find out the good actors and the bad actors in terms
00:07of three most popular shoes sold and three least popular shoes sold.
00:12And to complete the statistics, we'll find the three most expensive shoes in store.
00:17So starting off with three most popular shoes sold.
00:19This is the formula that you need to use.
00:24The first argument on the filter is the whole dataset.
00:27The red ones are the quantity sold.
00:31And I'm using the function called large.
00:33Number five here pertains to column E minus one means descending order.
00:38Let's hit enter.
00:39And there you go.
00:40This is the most popular shoe sold on the store.
00:44Let's do it the top three least popular shoe.
00:47And this is the formula that you use.
00:50As you can see, I'm using a function called small here so that I can get the least popular.
00:57And number five means column five as in E and I'm using positive one here to indicate ascending
01:04order.
01:05So I'm going to hit enter here and you can see this is the least shoe sold on my dataset.
01:11And to top it off, we'll do the top three most expensive shoe in store.
01:15And there you have it, the three tables here.
01:21So let's do a quick analysis on what this table does from this three simple formula.
01:26You can see that the most expensive shoe, this one here, is one of the least sold shoe in
01:33my table here.
01:34You can see mainly because maybe the price is too high.
01:38So management might want to revisit the price point for this product here.
01:43And from this first table here on top here, you can see that it shows that the price point
01:49of a hundred dollars here for a shoe could be an optimal price point for many clients.
01:54So it's something to take a note of.
