i need to add a column of numbers but have to omit the 3
lowest numbers. how would i do this?
 
Hi
one way:
=SUM(range) - SMALL(range,1) - SMALL(range,2)- SMALL(range,3)

or
=SUMIF(range,">" & SMALL(range,3))
though this can cause problems if you have duplicate values for the
lowest 3 numbers
 
Chris,
try this formula
=SUM(H3:H21)-SUM(SMALL(H3:H21,{1,2,3}))
change H3:H21 to suit your range
