Find the second lowest.

I am trying to add a new field to my data that lists the second lowest number in a data set.

So if I have

New York 100
New York 300
New York 150
Florida 20
Florida 23
Florida 17
Las Vegas 70
Las Vegas 78
Las Vegas 55

I would like to see...

New York 150
Florida 20
Las Vegas 70

The search I have has quite a lot in it already so building a new field with an eval statement near the start will probably be my best option.

Thanks in advance for any help x

Add to your existing search...

... | top limit=2 MyField | rare limit=1 MyField

Obviously, put your field name in for MyField.
