I have a sample of the spreadsheet that I am working with below, what I need
to do is put together a function or formula that will flag the column with
the highest ODM reading for each unit. Any ideas on a way that I could do
that - once the row was flagged on could filter to get the report that I want
- each unit listed with only the highest ODM.

unit Miles ODM
1 10 50000
1 20 40000
3 100 10
3 150 150
3 200 250000

One way (Array-entered: CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER or cmd-RETURN):

=IF(C2=MAX(($A$2:$A$100=A2)*$C$2:$C$100),"Max","")

copy down.

Better (but not one of your options):

A Pivot Table with Unit in the Row field and Max of ODM in the Data
field.

One way ..

Put in D2, array-enter the formula by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER:
=AND(C2=MAX(IF(A$2:A$100=A2,C$2:C$100)),C2<"")
Copy D2 down, then autofilter on col D for TRUE.
Adapt the ranges to suit.

Erika,
Another idea. If you want the maximum values to be highlighted, use the
formulas suggested by various respondents to your question and get column C
conditionally formatted. Only the maximum values will be highlighted. (
Format Conditional formatting -- in the dialogue box that pops up select
"Formula is " and copy the formula you like and indicate the formatting you
want by pressing format button and selecting a color your choice.
