Give this a try (tested it quickly & will work only on single characters).
Enter it as an array formula, meaning enter it by pressing Ctrl-Shift-Enter =CHAR(MAX(CODE(A1:A4))) "Modus" wrote: Is there a way of returning the largest letter in a series of cells with letters in it for example Cell 1 = A, Cell 2 = B, Cell 3 = C, Cell 4 = D the formula would return 'D' Please help |
