Hi,

as stated in the object, I need to find the maximum in an array of
strings, using VBA in Excel 2000. Of course I could use a (slooow)
linear search, i.e. a simple loop over all the elements, comparing
each element with the last biggest and updating if the new element is
bigger. But, since Excel provides so many quick worksheet functions
for a lot of tasks, I'd like to use one of them. I tried to use
LOOKUP, but it doesn't work, since it expects the array to be in
ascending order, which of cours isn't the case, otherwise I wouldn't
need to LOOKUP at all (I'd just pick the first element of the array).
Can you help me?

Thanks,

Best Regards
