Substitute for min, max,small,large..

[kralimarko]

I have some arrays, and i want to get the max value, but in some arrays instead of numbers i have text like BA12, BA14 and this formulas returns errors or 1. So i want formula that works for numbers and text values, that returns biggest value ,(1 value in descending order for text), thanks in advance.

Could you post small samples along with the desired results?

Col Col Col Col
I j k q
100938 200345 "empty" =MAXA(I2:K2;1), (200345)
100950 "empty" 200463 200463
"empty" BA12 BA14 BA14



In col.Q i need the formula that returns the results.(ex. 200345,200463,BA14)

Hi

If there is only "BA" before the number:

{=MAX(SUBSTITUTE(I1:K1&0,"BA","")*1)/10}

Array formula!
Do not enter the curly brackets {}.
Enter the formular with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER instead of just ENTER.

Without a test for text or numeric data...

Q1, control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:

=INDEX(I1:K1,MATCH(MAX(COUNTIF(I1:K1,"<="&I1:K1)),COUNTIF(I1:K1,"<="&I1:K1),0))
