I am looking for a formula or script that can show me the highest number within a range of values that have a leading alpha character. For example:
D101
D102
D103
D104
J101
J102
J103
I would like a cell that shows the highest D# in column is: D104
& highest J# in col is J103
.
I tried using RIGHT
, in combination with MAX
but was unsuccessful. This is the formula I tried which evaluates to 0
:
=MAXA(B:B,RIGHT(B:B,3))
Best Answer
Please try:
and adjust
D
to the letter of your choice (or parameterise it).MAX
VALUE
RIGHT
FILTER
LEFT
Expect
0
from attempts at maths operations on string functions since these always return Text.
