Greetings all,

Can someone please tell me the best expression to use to find the
highest number, in a column H of numbers (which include empty fields)
between H3 and H600.

Thanks in anticipation

Sorry to aggravate. Obviously Max(H3:H600)

My mistake was trying to use MS Help.

Max ignores blanks and text values fine

=MAX(H3:H1000)

Oh, really? I just typed

highest number

in the Answer Wizard box, and MAX worksheet function was the first item in the
list.

Thanks Myrna,

Whatever I exactly typed took me to exponential powers, which I understand
but knew I did not want.

What you say is true. Mea culpa.
