I'm looking for a formula to enter within a particular cell which will return the largest number that appears within a range of cells, for example the range H:133 through L:136. If it's any easier, only one number will appear within the range, though it could appear in any cell within that range.
View 3 RepliesI've a column that contains numerical values. In my vba code, I have to select a block of cells at a time and get the row which has the maximum value.
One lame approach I am doing is wasting another column that extracts the max from the block of cells using Excel's Max function, and then doing a iterative search in the numerical column to get the cell tht contains the max value, and from it get the row number
Is there a better way such tht i can avoid the looping?
so in a nutshell, i want to get the row number from a range of cells that contains the maximum value
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$65)
but all I get is hashN/A?
I tried a few searches for what I need but I think my wording might be off or there isn't anything on it yet. So the formula I'm looking for is: I have a single colum of say 700 rows with random values in each. I would like to average rows 1 to 15 then 2 to 16 then 3 to 17.... all the way through to 686 to 700. Now out of all that I need only the highest 15 period average value returned. Seemed simple until I tried to do it. Whats that saying, the idea is 1% of the invention..
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a named range which refers to: =MATCH(LARGE($G$5:$G$68,ROW(G5)-4),G$5:G$68,0)+4. It is supposed to find the largest figure in the adjacent column, list its row in cell H5, then the second largest for cell H6 and so on until the end of the data. The data in column G is dynamic and some cells will contain "0" with certain sections of data thus why I need a formula and cannot just use sort each time.
My problem is that when I use the formula as a named range I get "#N/A" and when I evaluate the formula I will get the answer but in array brackets (e.g.{17}) before the final step turns it to "#N/A". The formula will work fine if inputted directly into the cell but as the same formula will be used over three columns and numerous rows I would much prefer to use a named range.
How to automate the process of finding the highest number in a dynamic range meeting a criteria?
New data added/updated every day (new come, old gone).
The attached file has a properly displayed data.
I need to create a macro that will examine a range of cells, for example D12:T12, find the cell with the largest number value in that range then set the font for that cell to bold (or red, or change the cell background color).

I would like to be able to find the largest visible area of continuous rows in a filtered table. I know one possible way would be to loop through visible cells using the "xlCellTypeVisible" property and count cells in each visible area. However, the data is consisted of tens and sometimes hundreds of thousands of rows so I was wondering if there is a faster, more efficient way to do this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
=LARGEST(overview!$AB5:$AL5;11)
I'm using this formula to look up a certain value in "overview" sheet, is there a way to not show the result in this cell but show as result the cell in the same column in row 3?
In the attached sheet there is a list of horse runs in time order with the latest at the bottom..col C contains the rating for each run. I need a formula to fill down col d and e. Col d is to contain the rating of its previous run and column e the rating of its second last run. for example row 21 ..I have filled in manually Autumn charms last run had a rating of 116 and its second last run was 122..filled in in cell e21. if a horse has not ran(is now shown previously..above in column e..just leave the cols d and e blank...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've a two column dataset with one column for person name and one column for sales.
I'm trying return the nth largest value where the person name equals the value in a referenced cell.
My dataset may grow or shrink over time so I'm trying to avoid array formula.
Basically I'm looking for something like the below that actually works.
how I can return the largest letter from an array of letters? e.g. if the array is "A,B,C,D,H,K,L,O,P", the value returned would be P. Kind of like a MAX function, but for letters instead of numbers.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow 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 have a table with subtotals that I need to find the largest value for the subtotal results and then return the cell contents for the corresponding row.
I have attempted to use the hlookup function, but keep getting a #ref error (probably because I am just not that familiar with the entire formula requirements).
I attempted to nest in the 'largest' function to the lookup function, but have so far been stymied....
I'm logging failed password attempts and need to find the latest time logged for a single user (when user has failed 5 times).
So the 5th attempt, I need that time
So the usual - Application.UserName in the next free cell in a range and time stamp in the next cell.
What I've tried is:
Say log range is A1:B500 and
A=Username, B=Time stamp
In column C I've nested the two together
(this has more code but not required to get this working)
In C1
Code:
=A1&" "&"live"&" "&B1
So this will bring back "Username live 23:12:12". Now, say there is 5 of these (all with different times)
How do I find the latest time for that user?
Code:
IF(COUNTIF("USERNAME LIVE"&"*")=5,[find the latest time in that list",""
Just to wind you up some more, other users name will be logged and muddled up so it's literally -
"Excel - if a user has failed 5 times then give me the time of the 5th attempt"
I've tried a mixture of COUNTIF, MAX, LARGE, TIMEVALUE(...)

I need a formula/tip that will return the last non-blank item in a list or array. I am updating a worksheet each month with that month's metric and want the end user not to have to scan to the right to see the current value, but see it at the front of the worksheet. For example:
A1 is labeled "Current Value"
B1 : M1 are labeled "JAN" : "DEC"
B2 : G2 have values 45, 54, 32, 65, 14 & 23 respectively
H2 : M2 are blank
I need a formula in A2 that returns the last non-blank item in B2 : M2. In this instance, 23. When I enter a value into H2 (the "JUL" column), I want A2 to reflect that new number. =IF won't do, due to the 7 nest limit. I've seen this solution before but despite arduous searches, I can't find it.

2-10 (evens), test road, ID123.

To keep is simple. in a1:a5 are values 5,10,15,20,25. In c1 value is 13.
Need a formula to look at range a1:a5
And return only the next number higher than 13. Of course it's a3 or 15.
I have a range of cells (D10:D20) with numbers in them. I need cell A10 to look at D10 and return a specific number based on a set of criteria.
The same thing would go for A11:A20 & D11:D20.
If the number in D10 is 1-2 then A10 needs to display 0
If the number in D10 is 3-8 then A10 needs to display 0.1
If the number in D10 is 9-14 then A10 needs to display 0.2
If the number in D10 is 15-20 then A10 needs to display 0.3
Once I have that formula I know that i will just highlight A10 and drag the formula down through A20.
