I'm trying to use vlookup to lookup a value that sums up the 2 largest numbers in columns B,C and D. I tried these 2 formulas on my own but thet dont work. I also tried using them as array functions. But still doesnt work. How can I make this work?

=sum(VLOOKUP(E9,A2:D5,{LARGE(B2:D2,{1,2})},0))
=sum(VLOOKUP(E9,A2:D5,(LARGE(B2:D2,{1,2}),0))

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
try

Code:
=LARGE(INDEX($B$2:$D$5,MATCH(E9,$A$2:$A$5,0),),1)+LARGE(INDEX($B$2:$D$5,MATCH(E9,$A$2:$A$5,0),),2)

or

Code:
=SUM(LARGE(INDEX($B$2:$D$5,MATCH(E9,$A$2:$A$5,0),),{1,2}))

confirm with shift-control-enter

What is it for a value you lookup in E9? For the sum of the two largest: =SUMPRODUCT(LARGE(B2:D2;{1;2}))
