The MAX function in Excel is a built-in function that is used to find the maximum value in a range of cells.
The function takes one or more arguments (values or cell references) and returns the largest value in the set.
In addition to the MAX formula, Excel also includes the MIN function which works in the same way but returns the smallest value in a range of cells.
The syntax of the MIN function is similar to the MAX formula: =MIN(number1,[number2],…) where number1, number2, etc., are the values or cell references that you want to find the minimum of.
You can include up to 255 arguments in the function.
Both the MAX and MIN functions are useful for finding the highest and lowest values in a range of cells. These functions can be used in various applications, such as finding the highest and lowest sales figures in a data set, identifying the highest and lowest temperatures in a given period, and so on.
By using these functions, you can quickly and easily identify the maximum and minimum values in a set of data without the need for manual sorting or filtering.
