Using LARGE Function
Hi All
This one has me stumped. I have a range of 40 cells. All cells have the default of 999 in them When some of them have been populated I want to find the LARGEST of those new numbers. I have tried something like this =IF(LARGE(B6:AO6,1)=999,"",LARGE(B6:AO6,1)<999)) which doesn't work. Can you please point me in the right direction Regards Michael Mitchelson |
Hi!
Array entered using the key combo of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER: =LARGE(IF(B6:AO6<999,B6:AO6),1) Biff "Michael" wrote in message ... Hi All This one has me stumped. I have a range of 40 cells.

You're welcome.
That could also be accomplished using MAX if you're only interested in a single value: Array entered: =MAX(IF(B6:AO6<999,B6:AO6)) LARGE will allow you to get the nth largest value.

Thanks Again Biff
Actually, the MAX function might apply better in this situation. I'll give it a try. -- Michael Mitchelson "Biff" wrote: You're welcome.
