Highest Letter In A Row
Jan 7, 2010
I'm trying to list the latest revision of a drawing in an issue sheet spreadsheet. What I need is to be able to enter a formula that will find the highest alphanumerical value in the columns beyond. Alphabetic characters take precedence over numerical - i.e., drawing issue numbers usually follow a 00, 01, 02, 03, then switch to A, B, C, D,... order.
To try and illustrate what I mean a little better, I have the following table, with dates in DD/MM format. Sorry it's not laid out too well, my HTML isn't great:
Drawing title latest revision 01/01 02/01 03/01 04/01 05/01 06/01
example010001AB
example02000102
example0300
I want the cells in the "latest revision" column to report the highest value. So, I want it to say this:
Drawing title latest revision 01/01 02/01 03/01 04/01 05/01 06/01
example01B0001AB
example0202000102
example030000
I won't have control over the numbers and letters reached (i.e., the drawing revision could get up to Z or something - or the number revision reach 15 before switching to alphabetic revisions) so I'd rather avoid having to set up a crazy IF function with "00", "01", "02", "03", "04", etc etc. But -

Listed below are the grades for a student. Some columns have blanks. I have to find the highest grade (A being the highest) in the range.
I'm going up with the opposite (F) with this formula:
=CHAR(MAX(INDEX(CODE(A22:M22&CHAR(1)),0)))
How do I get A?
I'm using Excel 2007
A
B
C
B
D
E
A
A
B
F

For the below formula is it possible to replace the B's (column location) with a cell Say Z146 which contains the letter B (or a number if thats easier and someone can tell me the numbers for each column).
When the formula is dragged into the next cell (down) it takes its column reference from Z147 and then my life becomes so much easier.
=IF(INDEX('Overs-Unders'!B:B,MATCH($C145,'Overs-Unders'!$A:$A,0))"",INDEX('Overs-Unders'!B:B,MATCH($C145,'Overs-Unders'!$A:$A,0)),"")

I need to change a few hundred cells (one column) where the first letter may be a capital letter to a lowercase letter.
So:
GetAwardfromBid to getAwardFromBid
or
SmallLertter to smallLetter

I'm attempting to put together a script which in simple terms finds the 'Highest and Second' highest activity and associated FTE for a given sub group.
To be more specific:
On the "Slide 1" sheet look at the values in column J starting at row 7 until blank;For each value, then search the "All Monthly Direct Activities" sheet in column C for the same value, excluding the 'Subtotal' rows;Where a match is found, compare all the values in column E for that sub group;And Find the highest and second highest figure;
Once these are found copy this figure and associated value in column B and paste onto the "slide 1" sheet.
I'm not particularly well versed in writing VB, but I've been working with the code to see if I can get this work, which I have been unable to do.
I have attached a file which may perhaps provide a greater detail than my description of the problem containing the 'Source' and 'Destination' sheets.

If I use =MAX(A1:G1) I get the highest value. Is it possible to show the next highest rather than the highest and if so how?

I have a worksheet that contains a number of rows. [Thank you, Captain Obvious!] These rows are logically grouped to represent a series of "items", with each item having one or more rows (with a "header" row at the top). The rows for a particular item represent different types of information about that item, and therefore make use of different formulas based on the row type. Due to the relative complexity of the formulas in these rows, I am creating a series of row "templates" from which I can copy and paste every time I want to create a new item or add rows to an item. As such, I am trying to avoid direct cell references to different rows, as these would easily get messed up during cut and paste. Instead, I am trying to limit myself to various lookup functions (e.g. OFFSET, MATCH, etc...) that will work regardless of where a row is added.
In order to accomplish this I am using a "key" column to group all rows for a particular item together. Until now I have had to type in the key value for every row for a particular item. What I would like to do is to only have to type the key value in the header row, and have a formula populate the key value in all subsequent rows ... until a new header row is reached, at which point the new key value will be used. Take a look at the following example: ....

I'd like to record the highest / lowest value in a single cell without it being written over i.e record the highest value and if there is another value lower it wont overwrite it.
I've tried using the =max or =min but whenever a newer value appears in the cell it just follows that without keeping the higher value?

I have an excel work book that has distances in column A from A2:A10 like so:
ABCD
15013401400
240
3900
4800
5600
61400
71200
81100
91150
101600
I would like to compare the value inputed into cell C2 against the distances and return the exact match or next highest distance to D2 if there is no exact match.
i.e. If 1340 is put in Cell C2 I would like excel to return 1400 to cell D2 as 1400 is next highest distance from 1340.
Here is the kicker, the distances cannot be sorted and I would prefer not to use VBA but I will if i have to.

I am starting to use formulas and I am constantly amazed at the power of Excel. I am trying to write a spreadsheet and I'm having a problem getting Excel to do what I want; I have 2 column, each cell in Column 1 will have a numeric value changed daily. I want Column 2 to retain the highest value that has been added. i.e. If I type 4 in A1,(for example), on Monday, then B2 will read 4, if I type 5 in A1 the next day, then B2 will change to 5, but if I type a value less than 5 in A1, then I still want B2 to read 5. The value will be input daily for an indefinite period and needs to be user friendly. I can't work out how to achieve this.

What is the best way to look up and return the 10 best performers out of a list of say, 40. I have columns representing people's names, their school's name, their age and their total score. The following formula is to add up the 4 highest scores for each school: SUM(LARGE(($A$2:$A$499=Y2)*($C$2:$C$499),{1,2,3,4})) (entered as an array) Now I want to display the 10 best performing schools (who will be determined by calculating their 4 best scores).

I have a massive amount of data made up of values taken every five minutes over several months. I want to find the highest value in a day for every day. I'm wondering if the best method is to define each day as a dynamic range and then use the max value command to get the highest value?

I have a data table in which the values are reported daily. I have created a pivot table using this data and grouped the dates in to week long blocks.
What I require is for the group value to return the highest values found within the 7 day period, this would link with the grand total column.
________A B C D E Total
01/01/14 1 1 1 1 1 5
02/01/14 1 1 1 1 1 5
03/01/14 1 2 2 2 1 8
04/01/14 1 1 1 1 1 5
05/01/14 1 1 1 1 1 5
06/01/14 1 1 1 1 1 5
07/01/14 1 1 1 1 1 5
In this example when grouped by week i would get the result:
__________________ A B C D E Total
01/01/14 - 07/01/14 1 2 2 2 1 8
I have also attached a sample spreadsheet.

I have a row of numbers (per example below) and I would like to return the column header for the max value and the second highest value, even when the second highest value is the same as the max value.
For example
A B C D E Highest Second Highest
1 2 3 2 3 C E
3 1 3 2 2 A C
The return values are under the highest and second highest column headers?

I'm trying to wrap up a spreadsheet and I'm trying to figure out how to have my formula use the highest of 2 numbers when making a calculation.
For example:
If:
Cell A1 = 5000
Cell B1 = 3828
I want the formula to use A1 in this case. However, if the total of B1 = 6000, I want the formula to use B1 instead of A1 in the calculation. (A1 = 5000 will always be a constant/base).

i want my formula to look up the highest value from a range (the =max column), then return a name in the leftmost column. What it actually is, is a player of the month for fantasy football. Each week the player gets a score, then each month, a total of four weekly scores. i want to look up who scored the most and return the player name to me. see the attachment.

Could any of you Excel bods please help me find the correct formula to enter in order to calculate the following reasonably simple sum:
3 cells with numbers, say, 1, 3 & 7.
I simply need to get my worksheet to look at all three cells and then calculate the result of adding the biggest and smallest number together. i.e. 8 in the example given.

I want to get highest number from filenames in a folder.
for example below are files in folder
AB-1234-001.plt
AB-1234-002.plt
AB-1234-003.plt
AB-1234-004.plt So I want to get "004"
XY-12345-001.plt
XY-12345-002.plt
XY-12345-003.plt
XY-12345-004.plt
----
----
XY-12345-075.plt
XY-12345-076.plt Here I want to get "076"
file format is same but some times 4 digits in middle (AB-1234-001.plt) and some time 5 digits (XY-12345-001.plt)
My idea is , counting files ignoring suffix (eg 001,002,003) and count howmany are in folder. So code counts based on AB-1234 and return me value how.

how to highlite certain cells.
For instance, I want to highlite the highest value in certain cells (Red).
Example: Find max value E4 and E15
E5 and E16
E6 and E17
And also is there a way to have this happen automatic without selecting a macro. I want it to always be in the sheet1 when I open it.

I have a spreadsheet with a data sheet and a second sheet. On the second sheet I want to look up the value from A2 and find the highest date associated with this value in the data sheet.
This will be used to look at a number of projects that have multiple dates, and I want the latest date i.e. the furthest into the future. To add a spanner to the works, some dates are recorded as N/A so I obviously want to ignore these. I have attached an example workbook if anyone has a couple of minutes to take a look.

Is there a way to average only the X highest number of scores in a row?
What about if there is an additional condition, i.e., if the column
heading says "Quiz", for instance, instead of "Test"?
