hi, i have a lot columns of numbers ( A all the way to BZ), and i need to write a macro to locate the cell with maximum value in each column. And i cant use "worksheet.function" as it greatly slows down my code. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I tried googling and all i found is using the address, match, max function .Nothing macro related.

I don't know that you can do it efficiently without using "Worksheet.Function". You could do it using loops, but loops are far less efficient than using a "Worksheet.Function".

Note that there are other ways to speed up your code, like disabling ScreenUpdating and Automatic Calculations until after your code completes, and making sure that you eliminate (or at least limit) your use of "Select" and "Activate" in your VBA code.
Also, limit your functions so that they are only running against the populated cells in a column, and not the whole entire column.
