How do I find the next higher number in a sequence?
This should be easy, but I'm stumped (relatively new user). I have a column
of sequential numbers (except that the last numbers are 0) and I want to select the next highest number in that range. |

If I understand what you're asking, does this work for you:
=MAX(A:A)+1 -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "CasaJay" wrote in message ...

Not really, but thank you for the response. That returns the highest value
in the range +1, but not the NEXT highest value, which is what I need. In other words, if A1=1, A2=5, and A3=7 I'm looking for the value in A2.

And also, I agree that I posed my question incorrectly... more specifically,
if forinstance B1=A1, then I want to return the next highest value, meaning the value in A2, since my numbers are sequential (with the exception being that the last numbers can be 0).

Try:
=IF(B1=A1,LARGE(A:A,2),"") -Simon "CasaJay" wrote: And also, I agree that I posed my question incorrectly... more specifically, if forinstance B1=A1, then I want to return the next highest value, meaning the value in A2, since my numbers are sequential (with the exception being that the last numbers can be 0).
