I want to have my stock quotes updated to show the highest price th
stock has reached. I input the daily stock price in column A and I wan
that checked against column B which shows the highest past price. I
the new input in column A is higher, I want that column B change
automatically to reflect the new higher price. If the input price i
column A is not higher, I want column B to remain the same, reflectin
the older and higher price.
Everything I've tried on my own results in a circular error, even whe
I change the number of iterations and their parameters.
Answer to please
Thanks to any in advance

If you check iteration (check the checkbox) and change the max to 1, you
shouldn't get a circular reference error.

in B1
=if(B1<A1,A1,B1)

Hi
another way using VBA would be the use of the worksheet_change event.
Try the following code in your worksheet module:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A:A")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Target.Cells.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo CleanUp
With Target
If .Value Me.Range("B1").value Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Me.Range("B1").value = .value
end If
End With

CleanUp:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
