    Is there a function to calculate maximum loss in a column of data?

    Hi I have a column of data showing my net profit and wish to calculate the maximum loss within the column. So this is the graph of that column of data and as you see these are some big losing periods. Is there a formula to automatically tell me the biggest losing amount within that graph? For example, in that graph, the biggest losing streak amount is the difference between the right red pair of circles.

    Appreciate any help, thank you.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.
