Hi, I Have a cell say a1 that has a continuously changing number it
in and I want to track the highest number that it prints, and the
same for the lowest number in cell a2. I would like these results to
show up in the cells below them

Im very new to programming and your help would be much appreciated

many thanks

One way is to write a macro:

Dim prvValue as integer

Sub Get_Max()

Application.Volatile

if prvValue<range("A1").value
prvValue = range("A1").value
end if
range("A2").value = prvValue

End Sub
 
Right Click on worksheet label, click View Code and copy this code in
editor.
I assume that cell A2 is MAX number cell and cell B2 is MIN number cell
you can change their position
(Cells(2,1) = A2 and Cells(2,2) = B2 e.g. function is cells(row, column))

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
If Target.Value > Cells(2, 1).Value Then
Cells(2, 1).Value = Target.Value
ElseIf Target.Value < Cells(2, 2).Value Then
Cells(2, 2).Value = Target.Value
ElseIf Len(Cells(2, 2).Value) = 0 Then
Cells(2, 2).Value = Target.Value
End If
End If
End Sub

Thanks for the answer but in the line

ElseIf Len(Cells(2, 2).Value) = 0 Then it expects end of statement
and will not let it go through anyideas

thanks again
 
Please copy code from PRIVATE till END SUB
line with (cells(2,1) is sample as reference for you not part of code
you need only this, it is tested and work without problem

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
If Target.Value> Cells(2, 1).Value Then
Cells(2, 1).Value = Target.Value
ElseIf Target.Value< Cells(2, 2).Value Then
Cells(2, 2).Value = Target.Value
ElseIf Len(Cells(2, 2).Value) = 0 Then
Cells(2, 2).Value = Target.Value
End If
End If
End Sub

ok I have got this to work but it does not run continually, so it is
constantly keeping track. Any ideas

Thanks again
