Just use MAX, like this:


=MAX(A2:A50)


Hope this helps.

that would actually work better for me

It returns the last number in that range--not the largest number in the range.

The formula tells Excel to find the number 1e100 in the range A2:A100. 1e100
is a very large number (10 to the 100th power). As there is no number that
large in the range, Excel returns the largest number it finds.

Fred.
