Locate Maximum Value

To find the maximum value in Excel, use the MAX function. To find the cell address of the maximum
value in a column, use MAX, MATCH
1. First, we use the MAX function to find the maximum value in column A.

2. Second, we use the MATCH function to find the row number of the maximum value.

Explanation: the MATCH function reduces to =MATCH(12,A:A,0), 7. The MATCH function returns the
position of the maximum value in column A. Set the third argument to 0 to return an exact match.
Today's Date
To enter today's date in Excel, use the TODAY function. To enter the current date and time, use the
NOW function. To enter the current date and time as a static value, use keyboard shortcuts.
Today and Now
1. To enter today's date in Excel, use the TODAY function.

Note: the TODAY function takes no arguments. This date will update automatically when you open
the workbook on another date.

2. To enter the current date and time, use the NOW function.

3. To enter the current time only, use the formula shown below

CONCATENATE

2. Use the & operator to produce the exact same result.


3. The CONCATENATE function below concatenates the string in cell A1, the string " and " (enclose
text in double quotation marks) and the string in cell B1

4.The beauty of the TEXTJOIN function is that it can ignore empty cells (if the second argument is set
to TRUE).
5. Use CHAR(10) to insert a line break.

Sum Largest Numbers


1. We use the LARGE function. For example, to find the second largest number, use the
following function.

2. To sum the 4 largest numbers (don't be overwhelmed), add the SUM function and replace 2
with {1,2,3,4}.
You can use the MODE function to find the most frequently occurring number. However, the
MODE function only works with numbers.

You can use the COUNTIF function to count the number of occurrences of each word.
However, we are looking for a single formula that returns the most frequently occurring
word
