How do I create a VBA that will compare the list of numbers in EV70:EV79
for the 3 highest and the 3 lowest values in the column.
But in either case, if the highest numbers nor the lowest numbers cannot
exceed more than 5 numbers when values are equal.

If EV70, then add to EX71=0
If EV71, then add to EX71=1
If EV72, then add to EX71=2
If EV73, then add to EX71=3
If EV74, then add to EX71=4
If EV75, then add to EX71=5
If EV76, then add to EX71=6
If EV77, then add to EX71=7
If EV78, then add to EX71=8
If EV79, then add to EX71=9

Example

EU.....EV.................EX71.......EW71.......EX71
0...... 2
1...... 3................2865........................370
2...... 6
3...... 1
4...... 4
5...... 3
6...... 5
7...... 1
8...... 6
9...... 5

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
I'm afraid that your post doesn't make a whole lot of sense. From what I can tell, you want a code that will identify the 3 highest and 3 lowest numbers in a range of 10 cells. After that, I'm lost.

Yes, I want a codee that will identify the 3 highest and 3 lowest numbers in a range of 10 cells. The ET column
70-79, list the digits #0 through #9. The EU column,
70-79 list how many times each number has been entered
in the last 12 data row in my chart. So I want to know which
3 numbers have been entered the most and which 3 numbers have entered the least.
The results for the 3 highest numbers should be in EV71
The results for the 3 lowest numbers should be in EX71
The only other conditions is that some of the 0 through 9 digits
have the same amount of enteries in the last 12 data rows,
so in those cases I do not want EV71 to have more than 5 numbers and no less than 2, while EX71 has no less than 2 numbers and no more than 5 numbers.

So in otherwords, I am looking for the highest 2 to 5 digit occurrences and the lowest 2 to 5 digit occurrences in my chart over the last 12 DATA rows, within cells AF:AH. I do not
want the code to ever return and all 5 for the highest and the
remaining 5 for the lowest at the same time. Always leave at
least 2 digits out, which are neither the highest nor the lowest
occurrences.

Maybe an easier approach to this problem is to create a code
I have a list of 10 digits (0 through 9) in ET70:ET79.
I have listed in EU70:EU79 how many times each digit has
been entered in the last 12 data rows.

I want a code that pick from the ET column which 3 digits have the highest occurrences
in the EU column, and place answer in EV71.
Also,
I want a code that pick from the ET column which 3 digits have the lowest occurrences
in the EU column, and place answer in EX71.
Also,
I want a code that pick from the ET column which 4 digits are neither the highest nor
the lowest occurrences in the EU column, and place answer in EW71.

The problem is whenever this list is updated some of the 0 through 9 digits
have equal occurrences, so the key is to a keep a near balanced output from the 3 cells
(3 digits highest, 4 digits in the middle and 3 digit lowest). I need to prevent
the 3 cells EV71:EW71 from having less than 2 digits and no more than 5 digits
as a return answer in any of the cells. Also, if one has 2 digit answer returned,
then the other 2 cells can return either (the remaining 2 cells have 4 digit
answer) or (one cell has 3 digit answer and the other 5 digit answer).
Therefore, the valid amount of digit combination answers for all 10 digits returned in
the 3 cells in any order is the following:
2 digits-5 digits-3 digits (idea) example: EV71=03, EW71=96815, EX71=274
or
4 digits-2 digits-4 digits (idea) example: EV71=0396, EW71=15, EX71=2748
or
3 digits-4 digits-3 digits (idea) example: EV71=039, EW71=8156, EX71=274

Example
digits...Occurrences......Highest.....Middle......Lowest
EU.........EV...............EX71.......EW71........EX71
0.......... 2
1.......... 3................2865.......149...........370
2.......... 6
3.......... 1
4.......... 4
5.......... 3
6.......... 5
7.......... 1
8.......... 6
9.......... 5
