Dear Deepak, I have used following formula:- {=SUM(LARGE(SUMPRODUCT(($A$1:$A$11=E1)*($B$1:$B$11>0)*($B$1:$B$11)),ROW($A$1:$A$3)))}
SumProduct will select the rows in which Column A data equal to E1, Column B data greater than Zero. LARGE function will fetch out 3 largest values, because ROW function will fetch out (1,2,3) respectively, when used in Array format (Ctrl + Shift + Enter) and finally, SUM function is adding these 3 largest values. Hope this helps.
