Return Largest Value in an Array

[Guest]

i have an array ARRAY(10). The array contains different numbers. I would like
to return the largest number in the array to another variable LARGEST.

LARGEST = MAX(ARRAY(10))

Something like =Max(1,2,3,4,5)

Unfortunately I have not been able to determine how to use the MAX math
function to in VBA or if it can be used on an array.

Thank you for your help.

Loop through your array

YourArray = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)

For Each arr In YourArray
If largest < arr Then largest = arr
Next arr

hth

PS: Maybe there is a shortcut...but at least it works.

One shortcut would be to use Excel's =max() worksheet function:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim YourArray As Variant
YourArray = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
MsgBox Application.Max(YourArray)
End Sub
