Maximum Value in Column

Hi nastech. Assuming your data is in Column A, in a blank cell type
=Max(A1:A1000). Adjust the range to fit your data. HTH

Hi,

Enter the following formula in any blank cell and ENTER.

=MAX(data_range)

where "data_range" is the column range containing your data (e.g., A2:A101)

Hi, thanks, I thought that should be it, first tried it got a REF error with:

=MAX(BI100:BI3000)

Hi, yes, sorry took so long to reply. guesse errors would need to take into
account cells that have headerl lines with text (need to do numbers only?)

Tried: =IF(ISNUMBER(BI100:BI3000),MAX(BI100:BI3000))
but not quite there yet

Found this answer, seems to work fine, thanks.

=MAX(IF(ISNUMBER(BI100:BI3000),BI100:BI3000,-1E+100))
Array Formula, Confirm with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER

You'd only need this kind of formulas to avoid errors in that range.

=max() will ignore any cells with text.
