Per the title, I'm trying to convert this array formula to find the second smallest value:

=IF(L2=0,"NEVER",MIN(IF($B$4:$B$403=H2,$A$4:$A$403)))

I haven't had any success trying to fit in the SMALL and ,2. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
Try

=IF(L2=0,"NEVER",SMALL(IF($B$4:$B$403=H2,$A$4:$A$403),2)) Ctrl Shift Enter

Hmm, that's exactly what I tried.... and now it works of course. Maybe I forgot the Ctrl Shift Enter, but I didn't think so. Thank you anyway!

Actually, a follow up question if I may. If there is no second smallest, i.e. there is only one value meeting the criteria, can I make it not error and display a blank instead?

Thanks

How about using IFERROR?

Formula would become =IFERROR(IF(L2=0,"NEVER",SMALL(IF($B$4:$B$403=H2,$A$4:$A$403),2)),"") Ctrl Shift Enter
