today.(my dates are in assending order).

I'm assuming (based on your posted sample) that the dates are in ascending
order:

Array entered:

=INDEX(A2:A10,MATCH(MAX(IF((A2:A10=TODAY())*(A2:A 10<=MAX(A2:A10)),B2:B10-C2:C10)),B2:B10-C2:C10,0))

Format as DATE

Assume the above formula is in E2. For the difference:

=VLOOKUP(E2,A2:C10,2,0)-VLOOKUP(E2,A2:C10,3,0)

Format as GENERAL or NUMBER

Try this:

Array entered:

=INDEX(A2:A5,MATCH(MAX(B2:B5-C2:C5),B2:B5-C2:C5,0))

Format the cell as DATE.

Note: if there is more than one instance where the difference is the
same
the first instance will be returned.

i need a function that gives me a date from
col A ---------------Col B-------------------Col C
Date----------------HighValue--------------LowValue
20/NOV/2006-----50.25--------------------48.50
21/NOV/2006-----60------------------------57.25
22/NOV/2006-----55.75--------------------50.25
24/NOV/2006-----52------------------------48
the difference of highvalue and lowvalue is the volatile spread
value
of
the
day.
I want a function that gives me most(maximum) volatile day from the
above
range.
The answer of the above range is 22/NOV/2006.(spread values of above
range
are 1.75,2.75,5.50,4.00 and maximum value is 5.50).Thanks any body
gives
me a
compact function without creating a helper column to the above
range.
