    First occurance in a column and MAX value above

    Need a bit of help. How can I find the first occurrence of a value in a column, and then find the MAX value of all cells above that value within the column?

    I have found that its possible to return the row number of the first occurrence using the function:

    =MATCH("VALUE",A:A,0)

    However, I have been unable to find a way to feed this infomation back into another function.


    Many thanks in advance,


    Josh

    Try

    =MAX(A1:INDEX(A:A,MATCH("Value",A:A,0)))
