SUM OF 3 , 4, 5 or N largest value in a range

Yesterday i need to find the SUM of 3 largest value in a range using EXCEL. 

This is how to find the SUM of 3 largest value from 7 value in a range of 7 number. 

= SUM(LARGE (A1:A7, {1,2,3})) 

SUM is used for summation 
LARGE is used to find largest number 

Let say with this number from A1:A7 

1,2,3,4,5,6,7 

using  = LARGE (A1:A7, {1,2,3}) alone will result 

 7 (current cell ) 6 (next cell) 5(next 2 cell)  

Using  = SUM(LARGE (A1:A7, {1,2,3}))  will result in 7+6+5 = 18 in current cell
