# LARGE

The LARGE function returns the nth largest number from a list of values by identifying the value at the specified rank when the numbers are arranged from highest to lowest. It is commonly used to determine top values, rankings, or threshold levels within a dataset.

### Syntax

```javascript
LARGE(index, list)
```

### Arguments

index - The index specifies which largest value to return—for example, 1 returns the largest, 2 returns the second largest, and so on (Required).

list - The list of numbers to iterate through (Required)

### Example

```
LARGE([[LIST],INDEX)
```

In the example below, the *LARGE* measure is created using the **LARGE** function, which returns the nth largest value from the measures *MEASURE 1, MEASURE 2* and *MEASURE 3*.
