I have a data of some binary numbers in few range of cells, from A2 to A8, B2 to B8, and so on, till G column. Now, I want to check the largest binary number from the above Rows and paste it to the cell, two row below the last used range. (i.e., Largest binary number from Row A to be paste in A10, and so on). I am not finding any function which can find the value of binary numbers, and the code which I ran finds out the max number considering those as natural numbers. Your help will be appreciated. Thank You!

What I have tried:

I couldn't find any appropriate code for that.

A binary number is just a value.

So you mean, I can simply use the MAX formula..??

If you take in a single cell then

Do like bellow
=MAX(10010,10011,10111,10110)

1010 10111 10010 10011
11111 11110 10110 11100
11001 11110 10111 111

If you have:

A2= 10010
B2= 10011
C2= 10111
D2= 10110
A3= 1010
B3= 10111
C3= 10010
D3= 10011
A4= 11111
B5= 11110
C5= 10110
D5= 11100
A6= 11001
B6= 11110
C6= 10111
D6= 111

Then =MAX(A2:D6) will do the trick.
