Default Find the highest value on the column

Hi all,

If I enter on column numbers not in consecutive order, is there a way
to find the highest (latest) value that I entered.

Ex:
check
5
4
1
18
8
17
19
20
9
2
7
16
25
21
10
13
6
22
24
12
15
23
14
11
27
26
3

The largest value entered is 27. But in a few days the list will be
larger is there a formula that can do this.

Thank you
Faruk Gashi

Default Find the highest value on the column

use the MAX function, changing the cell address range to correspond with the
cells in your worksheet:

=MAX(A1:A39)
