Hi all,
I have been able to get the maximum value in a WORKSHEET by using LARGE(array,k). However, I could not find the specific cell where the value locates.
Can any one help me here?
Thanks

QB
 


Use a lookup function like MATCH

I'd use conditional formatting, as that will highlight cells when there are more than one occurence of the max value in a range.

Select the range, then do menu command Format/Conditional Formatting/Formula Is:
=A1=MAX($A$1:$K$25)
and click the Format button to choose a suitable format for highlighting the matches.

Adjust the range refences in the formula to suit your data ... A1 being the active cell ( first cell of selection ), and $A$1:$K$25 being the absolute reference of the data range.

Cheers, Glenn.
