return maximum y and x value

Since XL only plots what's in the worksheet, wouldn't the max/min
values you seek be in the worksheet? Use the MIN and MAX worksheet
functions to get the results you need.

:Hi
I put together a spreadsheet to plot x and y coordinates to produce a
sine like
curve in a chart. Is there a way to return the maximum x and y values
from the curve? Much appreciated.

Thanks but the data points plotted are not the maximum y value, but 3 to
5 points on the curve.
If it could return the maximum y value and the x value at which the
maximum y value occurs it would be much easier and faster than trying
to read the points off the graph (not to mention eliminating human
error).
This would actually make the chart work for me instead of just
displaying data.
Didn't we do this in 5th grade?
thanks again

I vaguely remember participating in a similar discussion. It really
would help if you'd quote the previous discussion.
