How do I get the maximum absolute value of a range of numbers?

I have a range of numbers


10
5
2
6
-1
-5
-25
I want to have a single formula that will give me the maximum
absolute value
of that range. The answer should be 25 but I can only get it to
answer 10.
Re: How do I get the maximum absolute value of a range of

=MAX(ABS(A1:A10))
This is an array formula. Hit ctrl-shift-enter instead of enter. If
you do it
correctly, excel will wrap curly brackets {} around your
formula. (don't type
them yourself.)
Adjust the range to match--but you can't use the whole column.
OR TYPE:
=MAX(INDEX(ABS(A1:A20),0,1))
