Default Need ability to get cell address of max value in range

Actually Biff's first question is a concern as I would really like to return
the first occurrence of the duplicate Max or Min, if any. I'm trying to
digest his method for working top-to-bottom and right-to-left which would
solve the further condition that I was looking for.

I definitely appreciate all the assistance on this question.

And do take note ... if it's at all important to you ... Biff's concern
about duplicates.

Thanks a lot. This is exactly what I needed.

Try this *array* formula:


=ADDRESS(MAX((A1:Y31=MAX(A1:Y31))*ROW(A1:Y31)),MAX ((A1:Y31=MAX(A1:Y31))*COLU
MN(A1:Y31)))

Array formulas must be entered with CSE, <Ctrl <Shift <Enter,

instead of
the regular <Enter, which will *automatically* enclose the formula in

curly
brackets, which *cannot* be done manually.
You *must also* use CSE when revising the formula.

When looking at a range of cells, I need both the contents of the

maximum
value in the range and the actual cell address of that cell. For

example,
I
have a series of readings from A1 to Y31 to represent every hour and

day
of a
month. If the highest reading is in the 11th hour of the 15th day
(obtained
by the function MAX(A1:Z31) then i need to be able to get the actual
address
of K15 returned also. This is used for billing purposes.
