    Excel function for highest number for every 10 numbers?

    Hi

    Suppose I have a column filled with numbers in fraction. And correspondingly I have a specific name for every 10 numbers. I want to find out which is the maximum among the 10. For this I could use the "MAX" function in excel. Similarly I have to find the maximum among the next 10 numbers. Since I have about 200 such numbers under 20 different names and eight such sheets (10 numbers per name), it becomes difficult to type the formula and select the range everytime. I would like to know if there is any shortcut for getting this highest number among the 10 numbers.


    Eg.
    Name Value Number
    TU 489.66 2.272
    TU 380.45 0.0379
    TU 331.97 0.0475
    TU 309.64 1.004
    TU 300.89 0.1215
    TU 288.84 0.0501
    TU 280.09 0.022
    TU 278.58 0.0115
    TU 270.16 0.0397
    TU 267.76 0.0554

    TB 423.82 1.8409
    TB 310.75 0.0722
    TB 286.47 0.2157
    TB 280.73 0.0378
    TB 279.88 0.0845
    TB 271.35 0.2859
    TB 255.82 0.0184
    TB 250.11 0.0515
    TB 246.73 0.0001
    TB 245.47 0.0247

    Thank you.

    Please let me know if I am not clear

    Array Formula - Requires CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

    =IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$9,MATCH(LARGE($B$2:$B$9,ROW(A1)),$B$2:$B$9,0)),"")

    $A$2:$A$9 Refers to Names.
    $B$2:$B$9 Refers to Numbers.

    Drag it down...

    Array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then hit ENTER.

    Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.

    Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

    Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

    Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).

    Changing your name does not take away the fact that cross posting without links is against forum rules and unkind to all persons helping you for free on their spare time...

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    I did not know excelguru and excelforum were same or two of same kind
    we are not linked in any way, except that many members here are also members there, so it is entirely unlikely that a thread on both, will go unnoticed. Look at it this way...If you spent considerable time and effort (or even just a little bit) in working out a suggestion for a member, only to find out they had already got an answer from another site, with-out telling you?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Regards
    Ford
