Column A Column B
I 10
I 90
A 30
B 40
C 50
I 60
D 80

i want the A,B,C,D large numbers but excluding the I into the range

For those who are interested, the above link does not work but this one does...

formula to skip a text and get the large number into the range (http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=186605)

Also note that the OP received the answer he was seeking in that other forum.

For those who are interested, in case the objective is to find the largest value, after skipping the values for all the unwanted text (in this case, 'I'), then one can use this formula as well

=MAX(B1:B7*(A1:A7<>"I")) (As Array or in other words, CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER formula)
