    Help with finding highest value in a range

    HI!

    new to excel.. please someone help me.. need to sort out big data file.

    i am able to find the highest value in a range of cell. say between A1 - A5.. but when i drag the formula it finds the highest value from A2-A6. But i need to find the highest value from A6-A10 ( the next set of cells).

    its not possible for me to add the formula individually in 1000's cells.

    Could someone please help me...

    i have attached a sample file with this..

    thanks,

    kunal

    Another way..

    In Glenn's sheet
    =MAX(OFFSET(INDEX(C:C,5*(ROWS($A$1:A1)-1)+2),,,5))

    Copy down
    Life's a spreadsheet, Excel!

    @Ace_XL
    Sorry. I didn't check the replies before posting. You already posted the same formula. I should have checked that before posting my reply.

    But my formula slightly differs from yours.
