Hello, I have inlcuded an example chart that I use regularly for work below (assuming it starts in cell A1 - so data range would be B2:AH34). Is there a way to find the max value of this chart, or even the top 5 max values (would be ideal but will settle for just one max figure for now if it's not possible)? I have tried numerous things but it seems that the empty cells and/or the #DIV/0! cells are causing issues for me. Also, is there a way to have a separate cell next to the max number that references the actual cell that this max value is found (to save me time from having to look through each cell individually until I find that max number the formula spits out)?

Thank you in advance

Thanks for all the replies everyone, unfortunately they did not work as I keep getting at "#NAME?" response.

I must apologize in that I didn't specify that I am running a 2007 version of Excel. I'm guessing that's why none of the suggestions above worked.

Is there a solution for 2007 version, preferably non-array?

Thanks again

" In terms of referencing the maximum value, what do you expect to happen if, say, four cells all contain the equal maximum value? "

In this case I would want the cell reference for all four cells, as I would need to know where these occurences happened (even if they are equal max value)

Not with #DIV/0! errors in the table. It can be done but it will need arrays. I'll rewrite the formulas in post 9 if you confirm that the results shown in the example there are acceptable.

Please update your profile to show the correct excel version to that we don't have to guess in future. To do this, click your user name at the top right of the page, then go to Account Details. Scroll down, select the correct option, then scroll to the bottom and save changes.

Thanks for the tip about updating my profile, I just changed it.......and yes, the results shown in the post 9 example are acceptable.

Thanks

For some reason, I was thinking that the changes would be a lot more complex, this should work with 2007 or newer (but not older).
