How to determine the maximum value in a list?

RE: Excel 2003

Hello Nigel

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

If you wish to determine the highest/largest/maximum value within a column in a list of data, you can do the following:

1. Turn on AutoFilter (Data - Filter - AutoFilter).
2. Using the dropdown arrow next to the column you wish to find the maximum value in, select Top 10.
3. Change settings to Top, 1 and Item; then click OK.
This will give you the row that contains the largest/maximum value.

4. Go to Data - Filter - Show All to restore the whole list.

Kind regards
Amanda

Excel tip:

Quick Absolute Cell References

When entering cell references in a formula you probably click the cell, or you may type in the cell reference. If you require any of the 4 variations, press the F4 key now before you press Enter to toggle around the relative and absolute entries ($signs).

Note that the F4 key outside of editing a formula is the Repeat key to repeat a previous action.
