Excel on XP: I want the user to enter a sequence of random integers
into cell A1 and have the spreadsheet record their maximum. So in
B1 I placed the formula =max(a1,b1)
Excel alerts to a circular reference, but then resolutely maintains
a constant 0 in cell B1 regardless of the numbers entered in A1. Is
something amiss?
And another question: I generated a column of 10 numbers using =rand()
and used the A-Z sort button on the toolbar to sort them. Although there
was some rearrangement of the numbers, they were still not fully/properly
sorted according to size. Am I expecting too much from this sort tool?
I changed the numbers to integers, and still they will not sort properly.
Very puzzling. Both work okay on the Sphygmic SS on my old laptop.
