# 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(list, index)
```

#### Arguments

* `list`: The list of numbers to evaluate.
* `index`: Specifies which largest value to return. For example, *1* returns the largest value, *2* returns the second largest value, and so on.

#### Return value

Returns the value at the specified rank from the list.

#### Example

```javascript
LARGE([2025.Q1.Actuals, 2025.Q2.Actuals, 2025.Q3.Actuals, 2025.Q4.Actuals], 1)
```

In this example, the *Highest Actuals* measure is created using the LARGE function, which returns the largest value from the quarterly *Actuals* values of 2025.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fabricplan.com/documentation/plan/planning-sheets/formula-syntax/math-functions/large.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
