I've got a column of numbers from which I'd like to calculate the sum of top ten biggest numbers, with addition to another criteria.

The criteria setup is something like this:
criteria1 | criteria2
"value" | =A1>LARGE(A1:A100;9)

The "value" criteria affects the DSUM-function correctly, without the criteria2 the sum is right. But with the criteria2, the sum is 0. That is, the DSUM does not find any field to match the criteria2. How the criteria2 should be written? As a formula like above or something like ="=A1>LARGE(A1:A100;9)" or something else?
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Apparently the criteria2 heading must not be the same as the column heading when the criteria is a function.
