from looking solution find largest 2 hours under each category.

like below

beauty  157.32  '1st largest value in under beauty beauty  157.28  '2nd largest value in under beauty  mens apparel    157.39  '1st largest value in under mens apparel mens apparel    157.39  '2nd largest value in under mens apparel 

using large function.i'm able find largest 2 hours in whole range not each category(classification).

this work if numbers non-negative:

=large(($a$2:$a$23="beauty")*$b$2:$b$23,1) 

i'm assuming data starts in a1 , formula should entered array formula (press ctrl+shift+enter instead of enter , formula should appear in curly braces {=large...}.

what copy column somewhere, remove duplicates , put 1 in next column them, copy whole thing underneath , put 2 instead of 1 , sort if afterwards. way can build formulas based on table

beauty          1 beauty          2 biss            1 biss            2 home            1 home            2 kitchen         1 kitchen         2 mens apparel    1 mens apparel    2 mens apparel ia 1 mens apparel ia 2 sports          1 sports          2 sunglasses      1 sunglasses      2
