Compressing multiple functions across an array into one cell

N

Nick Sabo

Hiya, I just had a question I hoped you all might be able to answer.
currently have a formula I would like to have repeat across severa
cells in an array, and I've done that by making a whole other set o
cells with the results in them. Then I take the second set of cells an
use the MAX() function to find the maximum value of them.

What I would LIKE to do is compress all of that down into one function
so it runs the formula on every cell across the row in the array, the
finds the max value in that row.

Any idea how or whether that can be done

Hi Nick

I have a length of string.

Can you guess how long it is from where you sit... o_O

You are going to have to give us something more in order to get a result
for you.

Paste your formula(s)
Some sheets names or at least some ranges and or sample data and an
example of your expected result would be nice...

Cheers
Mick.

You can't attach files in NG's, you have to use a File Sharing website
eg www.ExcelBanter.com, it is an excel forum that allow attachments..

In Y4 put:
=MAX(--SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(C4:L4,"<",""),"-",0))
(matricial formula, to confirm by CTRL+SHIFT+RETURN)

Wow, didn't know about SUBSTITUTE(), that's really useful. However, i
still seems not be working, somehow... does it work for you

EDIT: Wow I didn't know about CSE Formulas. That is staggeringly usefu
and completely unintuitive, but thank you, you're amazing
