Excel MAX Function allows you to find the largest number in a given range of values. It’s like picking the biggest number from a group of numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MAX(number1, [number2], [number3], …)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s say you have a list of numbers, and you want to find the largest one. You can use the MAX function like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This formula will return the largest number in cells A1 to A5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also use the MAX function with multiple numbers. For example, if you have several numbers in different cells, you can find the largest among them like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This formula will return the largest number among the values in cells B2, C2, D2, and E2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, you can use the MAX function to find the maximum value in a range that may include both numbers and empty cells without any issues. It will ignore the empty cells and give you the maximum from the available numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s see a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example 1:<\/strong> Find the largest number in a range (A1 to A5):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example 2:<\/strong> Find the largest number among individual values (B2, C2, D2, and E2):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example 3:<\/strong> Ignore empty cells and find the maximum in a range with empty cells:<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, the MAX function helps you quickly find the biggest number in a list, making your data analysis tasks in Excel much easier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Excel MAX Function allows you to find the largest number in a given range of values.
