MAX with VALUE and LEFT

Baker VDC

=MAX(VALUE(LEFT({OTHER SHEET REFERENCE RANGE}, 4)))

I'm trying to first get TEXT/NUMBER column to read first 4 characters (i.e. 0004-1 to be 0004),

Then trying to get TEXT to NUMBER conversion (i.e. 0004 to 4),

Then trying to get MAX out of that adjusted range.

Getting INVALID DATA TYPE.

You would need to add a column in the 'OTHER SHEET' with the =VALUE(LEFT([Column name]@row,4))

then make that your cross sheet reference and put it directly into the MAX function

Dang, I was trying to avoid a helper column, but I guess that makes sense.
