Hello everyone,
I need your help. I want to display a text which has more of no. of characters in a range.
Example:
Col A
India
India
United States
India
Answer: United States
I would need "United States" to be displayed as answer since this text has more no. of characters in the column A.
Thanks in advance.
One way:
=INDEX(A1:A4,MATCH(MAX(LEN(A1:A4)),LEN(A1:A4),0))

Thank you both for your quick response!
