Solution 1

You should have googled before asking here.

If you had you would have got over 19,000,000 hits, which should have given you plenty of options.

this[^] is just one of them.

Found by using sql get nth highest value, in case you don't like that one.

Try:

SQL

SELECT 
  TOP 1 myColumnThatContainsNumbers
FROM
  (
    SELECT
       TOP 3 myColumnThatContainsNumbers
    FROM
       myTabele
    ORDER BY myColumnThatContainsNumbers DESC
  ) aliasTableName
ORDER BY myColumnThatContainsNumbers ASC
