I am trying to find the max number using a loop. I do not want to use the application function. I want to use a loop, but can't figure it out. I have a reset button that generates 20 numbers out of 100 and a separate button that will output the max number out of the random 20 numbers. This is what i have so far.

Sub Button_Reset()
Dim i As Integer
Cells.Clear
For i = 1 To 20
Cells(i, 1) = Application.RandBetween(1, 100)
Next i

End Sub

Sub Button_Max()
Dim rng As Range
Dim max As Integer
Set rng = Range("1:20")
For i = 1 To 100

Next i

MsgBox ("The max is " & max & ".")

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
How about this?

VBA Code:
Sub Button_Max()
Dim max As Integer
Dim rng As Range: Set rng = Range("A1:A20")
Dim AR() As Variant:    AR = rng.Value2

For i = 1 To UBound(AR)
    If AR(i, 1) > max Then max = AR(i, 1)
Next i

MsgBox ("The max is " & max & ".")

End Sub

You can take advantage of the cycle you use to put the random numbers:


VBA Code:
Sub Button_Reset()
  Dim i As Integer, nMax As Long
  Cells.Clear
  For i = 1 To 20
    With Cells(i, 1)
      .Value = Application.RandBetween(1, 100)
      If .Value > nMax Then nMax = .Value
    End With
  Next
  MsgBox ("The max is " & nMax & ".")
End Sub
