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.
 
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.

From what I see on your document, this is more or less what I want to achieve, the only difference being that the values are in column B (from B3). I will try to transpose this to my document but I still wonder if there is a way to avoid using so many columns.

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Here it is according to your images:
It is only 250 rows but the formula is for 1000.
I've also changed the formula to an aggregate function, which is less typing.
But it is still MIN and MAX formulas. (Odd Rows are MIN, Even Rows are MAX)

Can you post some sample data?

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data that will allow us to copy/paste it to our Excel spreadsheets, so we can work with the same copy of data that you are. Instructions on using this tool can be found here: XL2BB Add-in

Note that there is also a "Test Here” forum on this board. This is a place where you can test using this tool (or any other posting techniques that you want to test) before trying to use those tools in your actual posts.

The formula I supplied works for me.
