Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Hi, welcome to the board!

Is this formula or VBA? Can you describe to us what it is you are trying to do, and what you have to work with?

I am working with formulas. I want to subtract the value of a cell who's location is Column: E Row: ROW(MAX(D2:D100))

review the excel help file entries for index(), match(), indirect() and offest(). post back if you can't get it sorted.

Thank you, but I found another problem. I want the output on MAX($D$2:$D$100) to be the cell that the maximum value is in. How do I do this? Thank you in advance!

=LOOKUP(2,1/(D2:D100=MAX(D2:D100)),E2:E100)

Note: if there is a tie for MAX(D2:D100) the above formula will give the value in column E corresponding to the last match in D

Yeah, I was probably making it too complex above, couldn't you simply use VLOOKUP?

=VLOOKUP(MAX(D2:D100),D2:E100,2,0)
