Finding largest number from list
 

Hoping someone can help....as couldn't find anything relevant in the forum.

In sheet 1, I have coulmns of data that includes below. In sheet 2 i need
to return the highest value that is in column B if column A is 'Kerry
Beniston1'. In this instance it would be 22Kerry Beniston.
If it could just return the value of 22, that would be even better, but if
necessary, can live with the whole text.

Please can anyone help. Many thanks

Hi Holyman,

try this array entered formula (i.e. you should press Ctrl+Shift+Enter
instead of just Enter):

=MAX(IF(A34:A40="KERRY BENISTON1",VALUE(LEFT(B34:B40,LEN(B34:B40)-LEN("KERRY
BENISTON"))),""))&"KERRY BENISTON"

Hope I helped you.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
