What I want do is find the max value of column 2 for each set of consecutive numbers, so the maximum value for the first set would be 2520 and the maximum value for the second set would be 3618. I would then want to keep the entire row for the maximum values (1030 & 1315) and bin the rest (1031,1316 & 1317).

Your code does find the maximum two values for column 2 and gaves you 1315 and 1317, but what I want to do is just find the maximum for each set seperatley, so for rows 1030 & 1031, I want to find the maximum value of column 2, which would only be out of 2520 & 2375, as the maximum would be 2520, I would keep 1030. For the 2nd set 1315,1316 & 1317, I want to be able to find the maximum for these rows only and keep that one, which would be 361 8 (1315). I'm sorry if I'm not explanning this problem very well, but I do appreciate your help.
Thankyou
Ian
