=Large function returns #NUM!
I have the following function to determine the largest value in a range of
data =LARGE(A1:A10,1). It works fine when the data is input manually 1,2,3,2,1,1,1, etc, however returns #NUM! on the range of data generated by function. The function in each of the cells i want to find the highest value of determines the numeric value of text in another cell. That function is =IF(K4="Extremely High","3",IF(K4="High","3",IF(K4="Medium","2",IF(K 4="Low","1",IF(K4="","1"))))) Can anyone help? |

Remove all of the quotes (") around the numbers. =IF(K4="Extremely High",3,IF(K4="High",3, IF(K4="Medium",2,IF(K4="Low",1,IF(K4="",1))))) |

Those numbers that you are returning from your function are actually
text values, because you have put quotes around them - drop the quotes, like this: =IF(K4="Extremely High",3,IF(K4="High",3,IF(K4="Medium",2,IF(K4="Low ", 1,IF(K4="",1)*)))) Hope this helps.
