Return second biggest value

Hi!

 

I am looking for a formula that will return the second biggest value. 

 

Below is the formula that is returning me the biggest value from a certain dataset:

 

LAstMonth = 
 CALCULATE(
 SUM(Q1_Subledger[Amount incl VAT]), 
 FILTER(Q1_Subledger,Q1_Subledger[Source.Name]=MAX(Q1_Subledger[Source.Name])
 ))

I am looking for something that will return the second biggest value... any idea? Name of the table is Q1_Subledger. So, from below dataset, I would like to have a sum of "Amount incl VAT" for 201903_6120.xlsx. And, when I add a set for 201905_6120.xlsx, I'd like the formula to pick 201904_6120 (so second biggest value).

Try following measure

 

SecondLAstMonth =
SUMX (
    TOPN (
        1,
        TOPN ( 2, VALUES ( Q1_Subledger[Source.Name] ), [Source.Name], DESC ),
        [Source.Name], ASC
    ),
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( Q1_Subledger[Amount incl VAT] ) )
