Thanks again
 
Thanks for the reply.

Message #1 was an example used for someone else.

At this point I cannot insert the Spreadsheet for you to examine. May I, please have permission to have your email via the Direct message, and attach the spreadsheet that is showing no results despite the changes in the VBS code?

Thank you, it would be very kind of you to assist.

Regards,
Lukhanyo

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
The code is only valid for a list of numbers formatted as shown in the OP. If you have number groupings in a differerent format than the 2 digit, 4 sets per cell, then the code will not apply to the different format. If you can explain, or illustrate any variations to the format shown in the OP, the code can probably be modified to accomodate the variations.
