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*.

--- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.inforiver.com/formula-syntax/math-functions/large.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
