If I try to use the max function on a column with a cell with #REF!, I get
#REF! as my result. I tried doing an if statement saying if a cell = #REF!
make it a 0 but it's not working. Anything else I can do?

One way

Try, array-entered (press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) in say B1:
=MAX(IF(ISNUMBER(A1:A10),A1:A10))

Adapt the range to suit ..

Hi Chris

=MAX(IF(ISNUMBER(A1:A100),A1:A100))

Confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter will exclude any #REFs (this is an
array formula).

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Instead of trying to work around the error, why not fix it?

if you post your formula that is returning the #REF! error I'm sure someone
will suggest a fix for you.
