Do you actually want to put the formula in the cell?
Sub AB() ans = Application.Max(Range("C250").Offset(-106).Resize(106, 1)) msgbox "Next available Non Residential number is " & ans End Sub if you do: Sub nextnum() ' ' nextnum Macro ' allows user to see next available number to assign to project ' ' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+n ' Range("C250").Select ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=MAX(R[-106]C:R[-1]C)" MsgBox "Next available Non Residential number is " & [C250] End Sub -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "melody" wrote in message ... -- New to using VB to write macros..trying to get largest number in a column and display that number within a message box..program will compile but I'm getting a run time error.
