Sorry for any ambiguity in my description. I will tell you exactly what
I am doing. I am looking at ouput costs for industrial equipment. The
pieces of equipment make up dimesion 1 (to 13). The second dimension
(i.e. the columns) are the different elements of costs associated with
each piece of equipment. Column 9 is the total costs column. The
remaining dimensions are time and stochastic variables. Dimension 3 is
hours, Dimension 4 is years and Dimension 5 is for stochastic runs
(i.e. 5 different runs)

Do I want in every hour to find out which piece of equipment has the
highest cost. I apologize I said "Summing" when I meant to say Maxing.
And I want to calculate this at the end of every hour. So when the
looping is completed, I will have the max equipment cost across 13
pieces of equipment. And since I do this every hour, I will be able to
look at this data across hours, years, and multiple stocahstic runs.
So my statement:

ArrayMax = Application.Max(Application.Index(Array1, 0, 9, 0, 0, 0))

was my attempt to record the highest value in column 9 before advancing
to the next hour loop. I will eventually store this value in another
array and when the run is completed I will have max cost data for
#hours*#years*stochastic runs.

Is that any clearer?
