Hello, I have a fairly specific question and not knowing how to formulate it, I did not find an answer on the internet.

Let's take a B1 cell, I want in this box B1 to have the maximum value among the values of A1:A50, so I write =MAX(A1:A50).

Now in my next box (B2), this time I want to have the maximum value of boxes A100:A150.

The problem is that by using autofill, the software writes =MAX(A2:A51) and not =MAX(A100:A150).

I tried to "fix" the dozens and units of my colones with a $ (with =MAX(A0$1:A0$50) but it doesn't work, so I rely on you.

Thank you in advance.
 
what happened when you tried this formula in cell B1:
Excel Formula:
=MAX(INDEX($A$1:$A$500,((ROW(A1)-1)*50)+1,1):INDEX($A$1:$A$500,((ROW(A1))*50),1))
?

If you put it in other rows, you must subract the appropriate row number, so if you put it in B3, the row statement should be ROW(A3)-3.

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
What language version do you use?

So I tried to use this by adapting the formula to column B but the software gives me an error on the first "$B$1:$B$500".

Same here, I have an error that I don't know how to solve :(
what was the error? Did you put each of the 4 formulas in cells to test them out?

Here is a worksheet with every other row being MIN or MAX, I stopped the copy at 250 rows, but you can take it for as many rows as you need.

what happened when you tried this formula in cell B1:
Excel Formula:
=MAX(INDEX($A$1:$A$500,((ROW(A1)-1)*50)+1,1):INDEX($A$1:$A$500,((ROW(A1))*50),1))
?

If you put it in other rows, you must subract the appropriate row number, so if you put it in B3, the row statement should be ROW(A3)-3.
I tried that by modifying according to your indication the values (see image), the values indeed start at B3 so I modified as you indicated.

I still have an error and the software highlights the area that causes it problems (see image).

In that case try
Excel Formula:
=MAX(INDEX(A:A;LIGNES(A$1:A1)*100-99):INDEX(A:A;LIGNES(A$1:A1)*100-50))
Good news, there are no more mistakes, I have figures! However, they are not the right ones. I had started to type the formulas by hand for the first cells (the cells with the little green triangle) but the values don't match:
