OK.. I tested the use of the hlookup (I'm usually using vlookup, so I don't have much practice) I put the column numbers in row 16. This formula finds the maximum value in the row and returns the column number from row 16. =HLOOKUP(MAX(B1:K1),B1:$K$16,ROWS(B1:$K$16),FALSE)
if you want the result to read something like: Column 1, MAX = 937 then you can use: ="Column " & HLOOKUP(MAX(B1:K1),B1:$K$16,ROWS(B1:$K$16),FALSE) & ", Max= " & MAX(B1:K1) had to make a minor adjustment to the macro: Sub maxtest() Dim R, C, maxval, maxcol For R = 1 To 15 maxval = 0 maxcol = "" For C = 2 To 11 If (Cells(R, C).Value > maxval) Then maxval = Cells(R, C).Value maxcol = C End If Next C Cells(R, 1) = "Column " & maxcol & ", Max= " & maxval Next R End Sub hope this helps (hth) Paul ________________________________ From: Paul Schreiner <schreiner_p...@att.net> To: excel-macros@googlegroups.com Sent: Wed, December 9, 2009 9:25:02 AM Subject: Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Getting the maximum along rows and place they occured Are you SURE you want a macro? the =max function could return the maximum value in the row. I'll have to test it, but the =hlookup function should be able to return the column heading. if you want the column NUMBER, then you could put the numbers in the first row of the matrix... if you want a macro.. Assuming the rows are 1-15 and columns are in 2-11 and you want the maximum value and column number in column 1... sub maxtest() dim R, C, maxval, maxcol maxval= 0 maxcol = "" for R = 1 to 15 for C = 2 to 11 if (cells(R,C).value > maxval) then maxval = cells(R,C).value maxcol = C end if next C cells(R,1) = maxval & ":" & maxcol next R end sub Paul ________________________________ From: Mammo <debebe...@gmail.com> To: MS EXCEL AND VBA MACROS <excel-macros@googlegroups.com> Sent: Tue, December 8, 2009 2:14:16 PM Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Getting the maximum along rows and place they occured I have a 15 by 10 matrix defined as an array. For each 15 row, I would like to get the maximum value and te column number at which this maximum value occurs. How can I make a vba macro for this? I appreciate your help.
