Maximum negative number
Hello,
In Excel 2007, I have a range of positive and negative numbers: Example: -5,-4,-3,-2,0,1,4,6,7....etc. I want to select the maximum of the negative numbers i.e. "-2" in the above example using a formula. How should I write the formula? Please advise. |

Maximum negative number
Hi,
Try this array formula =MAX(IF(A1:A20<0,A1:A20)) This is an array formula which must be entered by pressing CTRL+Shift+Enter 'and not just Enter. If you do it correctly then Excel will put curly brackets 'around the formula {}. You can't type these yourself. If you edit the formula 'you must enter it again with CTRL+Shift+Enter.
