    Let Excel recommend the current largest value

    Hi Excel experts,

    Would you be able to kindly help with setting up a formula to catch the largest current value of a series of values?

    Please see attached work file and let me know.

    Thank you so much!!!

    Administrative Note:

    Is your forum profile showing the version of Excel that you need this to work for?

    Members will tailor the solutions they offer to the version of Office (Excel, NOT Windows) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date in this respect. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File | Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your version is for Mac, please also state this.

    The three most recent versions of Excel are Excel 2019, Excel 2021 and MS365 - if you are using MS365, please give this name along with the release number in your profile (e.g. MS365 Version 2211). This is in the About Excel section further down the Account page.

    Win 10 is your operating system and not your version of excel. Please update your profile to reflect the correct XL version.

    Thanks.

    D2, copied down:
    =IF($A2="","",TEXT(MAX(IF(LEFT($H$2:$H$11,10)=$A2&$B2&$C2,MID($H$2:$H$11,11,3)+0,"")),"000"))

    E2, copied down:
    =IF($A2="","",TEXT(MAX(IF(LEFT($H$2:$H$11,13)=$A2&$B2&$C2&$D2,MID($H$2:$H$11,14,3)+0,"")),"000"))

    Re: Let Excel recommend the current largest value

    Hi Glenn,

    Thank you so much for spending time answering my question!

    I just copied your formula to D2 and E2, but the results came back as "001" and "001" - see attached pictures.

    Attachment 817268
    Attachment 817269

    In the meantime, the numbers should really be "002" and "002", because as you can see in the series in Column H, the MAX of Aisle Code and Tray Code for Warehouse ABC, Year 2020 and Merchandise AAA is "ABC2020AAA002002".

    Would you be able to help fix this issue?

    Thank you so much again!!!

    They are different formulae in each column.

    Do not post pictures, post the file.
