In a sheet tracking stock prices and transactions, I want to have a column that shows the highest price a stock has risen to. In other words, I need to make this concept work ( =IF(A1 > B1, A1,B1 ) where the A1 would be current stock price, and B1 is a saved (persistent) highest value for A1. I keep running into 'circular reference' errors.
I'm sure someone has done this before.
I rather suspected I'd need code to solve this, but I have never coded for Excel. So an example of the code I'd need, and where/how to attach it to the worksheet would be most helpful. Something that would function like the formula above, but without the circular references that I keep encountering. Then I could copy it to all the stock positions I'm tracking where each row is a different stock.
