Retrieving Column Header For Largest Or Second Largest Value In Row?
May 12, 2012
I have a table showing interest levels in training courses from a group of schools, eg:
English Maths Science
School1 3 4 2
School2 7 1 0
School3 3 2 5
I want to identify the column heading for the first, second and third most popular courses. ie for School1 the most popular course is Maths, second most popular is English and so on.
I have tried using the OFFSET function, which worked if I provided the cell location of the required value. I then looked at the ADDRESS function to provide the cell location: eg For School2 find the 2nd most popular course:
=ADDRESS(ROW(A3),COLUMN(data?)+MATCH(LARGE(B3:B5,2),B3:B5,0)-1)
But I have got stuck with what I should enter for COLUMN(data?) as I do not know in which column the second largest value is.
I am sure Excel has the required functionality.

I am trying to write a macro in order to find the largest value in a column in one worksheet, and copy and paste that value into a different workbook. I have found a code similar to what I am looking for and tweaked it, but it needs a few more adjustments. The code below opens the file I want it to, and pastes data into the correct workbook and worksheet, but I would like it to be able to paste in the next empty cell in Row 3, instead of just in the cell "C3". Also i would like for the program to find the largest numeric value in column C, instead of using an if last row statement, as this current program does not always give me the output I am looking for.
VB:
Dim wsMaster As Worksheet, wbDATA As Workbook
Dim NextRow As Long, LastRow As Long
Set wsMaster = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Contract Metrics")
NextRow = wsMaster.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
[Code] .....

I want to find the largest cell in a column so I can use “auto fit selection” without cutting off type.

I'm using the LOOKUP function to find the largest number and then return the name from a different column, it looks like this:
=LOOKUP(LARGE(round1!$F$2:$F$65,1),round1!$A$2:$A$65)
but all I get is hashN/A?

See attached. This is a report that I have to do every month. I cant work out a formula for it. What I need is a formula that will pick out which is the largest Figure of column A,B,C,D for each row and put the corresponding header in column G. i have manually put these in. Would anyone know a formula i could use for this.

So in excel language IF(Number in B Is Max display corresponding hotel in column A as BOLD. But I can't figure out how to do this.

See data in the attached image in Col A thru Col D. In Col E, I want to populate the max value for the same part # from Col C or Col D depending upon value in Col B.
I have included a sample of the expected results in Col E for illustration purposes.
For example Row 3,5,6 are all part # 1 with Col B ="Y", suggesting they are interchangeable parts, therefore, I would like the formula to have ability to pick 10 (since its largest between 3,10,0) from Col C.

I basically I have a column with numbers. All the numbers are positive integers. What I like to do is have a VBA function that extracts the integers with the largest number of digits. So for example if we have the following column:
12
123
234
12346
2345
[code].....
So basically we search for largest number of digits, and extract the numbers that fit this category, which could be just one number or multiple numbers.

How would I return a cell reference (address) to a cell that contains the largest number in a list?
I tried using "Address(large....) where I get the correct column, but the returned row # is the actual value in the cell (the highest # in the list).
I eventually will want to delete the highest number to leave the cell blank.

I'm trying to find the largest number in a row and then have the column heading (text) as the result. I can find the largest number by using =max(numb1, numb2 ....) but then how do I get the heading of the column as the result. An example of what I want to happen is below
Red
Green
Blue
Orange
Yellow
Result
2
4
3
6
1
[code]...
I anticipate an issue where 2 columns have the same largest number and not sure how to over come this either with multiple answers

There should be a formula to extract the largest values and its corresponding values. For example, if column
Products Costs
A1 Pen 200
A2 Pencil 125
A3 Radio 670
A4 Apple 1500
A5 Xbox 222
A6 TV 100
The desired outcome
Products Cost
Apple 1500
Radio 670
Xbox 222
Pen 200
Pencil 125
TV 100
The second goal is extracting the top 3 largest values using a formula.
Sample file is attached for your convenience. Desired outcome is in GREEN.

I have 3 columns. The first has names of students, the second names of their schools, and the third the student's scores. I need to add together the top 4 scores from each school and return them in a table. I have tried combining LARGE and SUMIF but to no avail. Also tried a Pivot table but I cannot get just the top four scores to add.

I'm working with box quantities and would like to get a formula that would take the box quantity and return the largest value based on some parameters. Here are my parameters:
Box Quantity
- 375 pieces
Break down options
2 - 187.5 pieces
3 - 125 pieces
4 - 93.75 pieces
5 - 75 pieces
Obviously options 2 and 4 are no good as I can only work with even break downs. This leaves me with either 3 or 4 and because I want the largest, I would choose number 3. What I need is help on a formula that will take the value of the box quantity and return the largest whole number. I think for the time being I would like to leave the break down between 2 and 5 as well.

If TRUE or omitted, an exact or approximate match is returned. If an exact match is not found, the next largest value that is less than lookup_value is returned. But this is not correct as the value I am seeking falls with a range of Min/Max Values therefore the return should be the Next Largest Value
I have values I would like to lookup against a table Min Max values
Col A Min Value 700,000
Col B Max Value 799,999.99
The value being sought is 745,000
I would like the return to be 799,999.99
But currently returning 700,000
Current formula is
=VLOOKUP(G2,tblMaxValues,2,TRUE)
Where G2 is 745,000
tblMaxValues is a list of values for comparison
,2, is the column to be returned

writing a formula to sum the six largest numbers from a row of numbers. I have used the array formula "=SUM(LARGE(E2:M2,{1,2,3,4,5,6}))" and it works for rows that have six or more numbers; however, not all of my rows always have six or more numbers. Rows that have less than six result in "#NUM!".

I am using excel 2007 and I need help with the following if anyone would be kind enough. I have a dynamic array that consists of stream of 1's and 0's. I want to be able to find the largest sequence of 1's and the smallest sequence of 1's. So at a point in time the array mite be 111110001101111000 and I want to be able to dertermine the longest contiguous sequence of 1's. But as I say the array is dynamic and so I need to do that after each input.

4/1/2007 - 0.044

I need to find the largest value within a range that is less than the result of a formula from another set of values.
Something like this:
=MAX(E98:E115) that is <=(P63+((1.5*(P63-P61))))
