Returns the largest value in a list of arguments. Text and logical values such as TRUE and FALSE are compared as well as numbers.
MAXA is similar to MINA. For more information, see the examples for MINA.
Syntax
MAXA(value1,value2,...)
Value1, value2, ... are 1 to 30 values for which you want to find the largest value.
Remarks
- You can specify arguments that are numbers, empty cells, logical values, or text representations of numbers. Arguments that are error values cause errors. If the calculation must not include text or logical values, use the MAX worksheet function instead.
- If an argument is an array or reference, only values in that array or reference are used. Empty cells and text values in the array or reference are ignored.
- Arguments that contain TRUE evaluate as 1; arguments that contain text or FALSE evaluate as 0 (zero).
- If the arguments contain no values, MAXA returns 0 (zero).
