Hi

Ignoring the * of A*, the following array formula should work
{=CHAR(MAX(CODE(A8:F8)))}

To commit or edit an array formula, use Control+Shift+Enter (CSE) not
just Enter.
Do not type the curly braces { ] yourself, Excel will ad them when
you use CSE

One way, if grades are in G1:G10 try entering

=LOOKUP(2,1/(COUNTIF(G1:G10,">"&G1:G10)=0)/(G1:G10<>""),G1:G10)
