Max of a defined function
 

OK, maybe there's a better way to do this, but I have the Colorindex function
(from Ozgrid, I think) and I want to get the maximum value over a number of
cells:

I have something like this:

=MAX(colorindex(A1),colorindex(A2),colorindex(A3))

I want to go 10 columns. Is there an easier way to do this? I know I can
write another macro, but I don't really want to do that right now.

Thanks,
Barb Reinhardt

Max of a defined function
 

Without knowing how the colorindex function works makes it rather
difficult to answer that. To make the formulas easier for you, it might
be easier to create a dummy row. Although, I hate to recommend that.
Unfortunatly it's the best I can do. The dummy row B where the formula
would be =colorindex(a1)... etc. and then do the max on Row B.

I cannot say it is "easier", but it might be more extensible. In B1,
put =colorindex(A1) and copy into A2:A10. Then you can write
=max(A1:A10).

If you do not like column B1 cluttering up your spreadsheet, you
can hide the column.

Barb,

Grab my Colorindex function from
http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.ColourCounter.html and use
=MAX(ColorIndex(A1:A10))

I did that, but it means adding 20 more columns and I don't really want to do
that. For now, it works. In the future, I'll look at modifying the macro.

Thanks
