Thanks Again Biff
Actually, the MAX function might apply better in this situation.
I'll give it a try.

You're welcome.

That could also be accomplished using MAX if you're only interested in a
single value:

Array entered:

=MAX(IF(B6:AO6<999,B6:AO6))

LARGE will allow you to get the nth largest value.

Hi All
This one has me stumped.
I have a range of 40 cells. All cells have the default of 999 in them
When some of them have been populated I want to find the LARGEST of
those
new numbers.
I have tried something like this

=IF(LARGE(B6:AO6,1)=999,"",LARGE(B6:AO6,1)<999))

which doesn't work.
Can you please point me in the right direction

Regards
