If you want to copy it down (which you never mentioned) then use
Excel Formula:
=MAX(H$3:H8)
and the range will expand as you drag it down col E
or use this mod to Kanadaaa's formula
Excel Formula:
        =LOOKUP(2,1/(H$3:H8<>""),H$3:H8)
Thank you.

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Glad we could help & thanks for the feedback.
