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:

Navigate with keyboard without losing your active cell

If you like using your keyboard to scroll through your excel document, but want to keep your active cell the same, use the scroll lock, and then use your arrow keys to navigate around the document.
