Thanks, Download and install Longre's free morefunc.xll add-in from http://xcell05.free.fr/ (Version 4.01 or later). If by "Highest" you mean that A is higher than B and so forth, use the formula: =VSORT(Names,,1) If you mean Z is higher than Y and so forth, then: =VSORT(Names) will do. --ron |

Here's another way...
If Z is higher than Y, try... =INDEX(A1:A10,MATCH(LARGE(COUNTIF(A1:A10,"<"&A1:A1 0),1),COUNTIF(A1:A10,"< "&A1:A10),0)) ....confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER. If A is higher than B, try... =INDEX(A1:A10,MATCH(SMALL(COUNTIF(A1:A10,"<"&A1:A1 0),1),COUNTIF(A1:A10,"< "&A1:A10),0)) ....confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER. Hope this helps!

Since any instance of the 'highest' value would be as good as any other, both formulas could be reduced to =LOOKUP(2,1/(COUNTIF(A1:A30,""&A1:A30)=0),A1:A30) and =LOOKUP(2,1/(COUNTIF(A1:A30,"<"&A1:A30)=0),A1:A30) respectively, neither of which require array entry. |

Nice Harlan! Actually you pointed it out to me on another occasion but
I completely forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me. It's definitely much more preferable than the one I offered. In article .com, "Harlan Grove" wrote: Domenic wrote... Here's another way...
