If you select one value, you would get output for the first (max) expression and there is no second value in the scope , so no output for second max value. Hope, that makes sense. I.e. you have to select at least two values to make both the expressions work.

If your field values have unwanted blanks, you might try something like:

FirstSortedValue(MOP_FY, -Num(Purgechar(MOP_FY,'F')))

FirstSortedValue(MOP_FY, -Num(Purgechar(MOP_FY,'F')) , 2)
