Finding maximum value
Hello,
I want to find the maximum value in a column, but I want to ignore the negative and positive part of the value. Basically, the maximum difference from zero. Example: the maximum value I am looking for will be -0.467. -0.467 0.345 -0.253 0.411 Thanks Ruan |

=INDEX(A1:A4,MATCH(MAX(ABS(A1:A4)),ABS(A1:A4),FALS E)) In article , "Ruan" wrote: Hello, I want to find the maximum value in a column, but I want to ignore the negative and positive part of the value.
