    formula

    Hi
    I need some help with excel 2007 as follows:
    I am trying to produce a formula to pick out the greatest from the cells selected.
    eg.
    a1=1
    a2=2
    a3=3
    a4=4

    a5=(the highest of a1-a5)

    Please confirm the formula i should use, is it an IF formula?

    Many thanks
    Oliver

    Please take a moment to read the forum rules.

    1. Use concise, accurate thread titles. Your post title should describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

    To change the title of the thread, click EDIT on the original post, then click the Go Advanced button, then change the title. If two or more hours have passed, the EDIT button will not appear, and you need to ask a moderator to change the title.
