    Determine Max Value (text) from list

    Hi, I'm trying to create a bit of a spreadsheet whereby users can select a different consequence rating (ranging from critical to none) for a number of impacts, then the highest rated one is selected as an overall consequence rating. I have attached a copy of the spreadsheet and would appreciate any tips or advice.

    Try this array formula in E2
    =SUMPRODUCT(COUNTA(ImpactsList)-INDEX(MATCH(IF(B2:B6="","None",B2:B6),ImpactsList,0),,))
    Confirm with Ctrl+Shift+Enter not just Enter.

    If you dont use Ctrl+Shift+Enter then the formula will return 0 until all cells in Column B ("Consequence") are assigned a value.

    [EDIT]
    I misread this thread due to site failures and could not check it until now.
    Here is another suggestion
    =INDEX(ImpactsList,MIN(MATCH(IF(B2:B6="","None",B2:B6),ImpactsList,0)),1)
    Confirm with Ctrl+Shift+Enter not just Enter.
