    Max function for all columns

    Hi I'm trying to find the max value for each column with this code, but it stops after a blank row. I want the code to find the max of the entire column even if there are blank rows in the data. Any idea how to fix this code? Or is there a better way to write the code? Thanks!

    If you are trying to replace the values in each cell of row one with the max of column then try:

    EDIT: Does each column have the same number of rows?

    Re: Max function for all columns

    Hi protonLeah, no the columns may not have the same number of rows. Also, I'm not trying to replace the values in the first row. The first row could be blank, but I still want it to output the max value for every column that has data. Does this make sense?

    Thank you!

    Re: Max function for all columns

    Your original code puts a formula in row 1 then copies and paste special back to row 1? (tested). So where should the max be written?
