MAX value of a column that has #div/0 errors in it
In order to highlight the highest value in a column of numbers, I'm using the
conditional format formula: =(F3=(MAX(F:F))) However, there are #div/0 errors in this column and it won't work. Is there a way to re-write the funtion so that it ignores the #div/0 errors? Perhaps with a =not(iferror) or something to the like? |

Ray,
Wouldn't it be better to remove the #Div/0 errors in the column?

Good morning, Ray-
I don't know this for sure, but my first impression is that the conditional formula is not the place to filter out the DIV/0 errors. I think the best way to go will be to replace the formulas in column F with something like =IF(ISNUMBER(your formula),your formula,"div zero error") This will flag the errors and allow your MAX formula to work. I can't definitively say "this is THE one and only solution", since Excel provides many ways to skin a cat, but this will get you going until a better solution is offered. |
