I am trying to pull the top 5 values from a list. The problem is the list has subtotals throughout, which I do not want to pull. Is there a way to use the Subtotal(4,range) function to select the top 4 items. I'm trying not to create a new column for ranking.

Thank you.

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
you can use the =large formula, =large(array,1) =large(array,2) =large(array,3) =large(array,4) =large(array,5)

Thank you. I went ahead and added a column to add "Subtotal" on the appropriate row and used the formula above.
