Default sum minus the smalles cell

Hi All.

How do create a formula which give me the sum of 5 cells minus the smallest
cell?

eg: if the cells contains numbers: 10, 12,15, 3, 14. The formulas eliminate
the smalles number (number 3 in this case) and
calculate the sum of 10+12+15+14.

TIA.

Hai

If your cells to sum are in A1:E1, the in F1

=SUM(A1:E1)-Min(A1:E1)

Try using the min function as follows:

=SUM(A1:E1)-MIN(A1:E1)

Another possibility;

=SUM(LARGE(A1:E1,{1,2,3,4}))
