I'm new to user defined functions and want to create on that will calculate the maximum deviation from the average of a set of numbers.
The Excel formula would be ={MAX(ABS(H4:H8-AVERAGE(H4:H8))/AVERAGE(H4:H8))}
I'm sure its easy but I'm stuck!
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Nevermind, got it!
In case it is of interest to anyone:
Code:
Function MaxDev(Rng As Range)

Dim i As Double


For Each cell In Rng
    If i < WorksheetFunction.Max(WorksheetFunction.Max((cell.Value - WorksheetFunction.Average(Rng)) / WorksheetFunction.Average(Rng))) Then
        i = WorksheetFunction.Max(WorksheetFunction.Max((cell.Value - WorksheetFunction.Average(Rng)) / WorksheetFunction.Average(Rng)))
    End If
Next cell


MaxDev = i


End Function
