    IF you want excel to do it, go into

    tools options calculations

    Check max iterations and set it to 1


    Than have price feed in one cell.

    In the next cell have the formula

    =max(pricefeed/ "cell you are in")

    This will store the high price for you.

    Hope that helps.

  3. hi

    i have followed your instructions but i seem to have missed something.
    i get An error in the cell.

    My data is in cell AQ100 . i have typed in cell AR100 =max(pricefeed/aq100) is that right?

    thanks

    No. If you made the changes in settings, you would need

    in cell ar100 = max(ar100,aq100)

    It makes a cicular refernce, but with those settings changes, it won't come back an error. That way when the price hits a new high, AR100 will increase to teh new high and stay there.
