How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest

Here's one possibility.....

=LOOKUP(2^15,SEARCH(D$2:D$10,A2),E$2:E$10)

Define BigNum using Formulas | Name Manager as referring to:
Rich (BB code):
=9.99999999999999E+307

C2, control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:
Rich (BB code):
=LOOKUP(BigNum,
   SEARCH(IF($E$2:$E$12=$B2," "&$F$2:$F$12&" ",-BigNum)," "&$A2&" "),
   IF($E$2:$E$12=$B$2,$J$2:$J$12))
