SMALL3D

Returns the k-th smallest value in a given range in all worksheets in a workbook. For example, you can use SMALL3D to return the smallest, or the 2nd smallest score in a given range in the whole workbook. You just need to specify a range, and SMALL3D will go through the same range in all worksheets in the workbook and find out the answer for you.

SMALL3D is very similar to the SMALL function of Microsoft Excel. The main difference is that SMALL3D considers all worksheets, while the original SMALL function doesn't.

Syntax

SMALL3D(range_input, k, include_current)

range_input - is the range for which you want to determine the k-th smallest value.

k - is the position (from the smallest) in the array or cell range of data to return.

include_current - Optional. Boolean argument , either TRUE or FALSE. Decides whether the current worksheet is included in the function's consideration. TRUE means the current worksheet will be considered, and vice versa. Default value is TRUE.

Remarks

• If array is empty, SMALL3D returns the #NUM! error value.
• If k = 0 or if k is greater than the number of data points, SMALL3D returns the #NUM! error value.

If n is the number of data points in a range, then SMALL3D (range_address,1) returns the largest value, and SMALL3D (range_address,n) returns the smallest value.
