* This function includes hidden cells. * Arguments that are just numbers are included. * Arguments that are just numbers passed as text ("3") are included. See Example 15. * Arguments that are just logical values are included. True evaluates to 1. False evaluates to 0. See Example 19. * Arguments that are just text will generate a #VALUE! error. See Example 16. * Arguments that are references to empty cells are excluded. See Example 8. * Arguments that are references to cells containing zeros are included. See Example 9. * Arguments that are references to cells containing dates are included and the date serial number is used. See Example 12. * Arguments that are references to cells containing logical values are excluded. See Example 11. * Arguments that are references to cells containing text are excluded. See Example 10. * Arguments that are arrays containing logical values are excluded. * Arguments that are arrays containing text are excluded. * If any cell references contain an error, then that error is returned. * You can have a maximum of 255 arguments. * You can use the AGGREGATE function to exclude hidden cells. * You can use the LARGE function to returns the kth largest value in a list or array of numbers. * You can use the MAXA function to include logical values and text. * You can use the MAXIFS function to satisfy multiple conditions. * You can use the MAXBETWEEN - User Defined Function to return the largest value that is between a range. * You can use the MAXVISIBLE - User Defined Function to exclude hidden cells. * You can use the MIN function to return the smallest value in a list, range or array. * This is similar to the AVERAGE, COUNT and SUM functions. * For the Microsoft documentation refer to support.microsoft.com * For the Google documentation refer to support.google.com |

1 - What is the largest of 2 and 4. 2 - What is the largest of 5, 10 and 15. 3 - What is the largest of -5, -10, -15 and 0. 4 - What is the largest of -2, -3, 4, 5 and 6. 5 - What is the largest of the values in the array (-2, -3, 4, 5, 6). 6 - What is the largest of the values in range "B1:B3". 7 - What is the largest of the values in range "B1", "B2" and "B3". 8 - What is the largest of the values in range "B1", "B2", "B3" and "B4". B4 is empty. 9 - What is the largest of the values in range "B1", "B2", "B3" and "B5". 10 - What is the largest of the values in range "B1", "B2", "B3" and "B6". 11 - What is the largest of the values in range "B1", "B2", "B3" and "B7". 12 - What is the largest of the values in range "B1", "B2", "B3" and "B8". B8 is a date so this gets included as a date serial number. 13 - What is the largest of the values in the named range that refers to the range "B1:B3". 14 - What is the largest of the values in range "B5", "B6" and "B9". B9 contains an error so that gets returned. 15 - What is the largest of 2 and 3. Text values that are actually numbers are included. 16 - What is the largest of 2 and "some text". Text values passed as arguments are excluded. 17 - What is the largest of the values in the array (2, "some text"). Text values inside arrays are excluded. 18 - What is the largest of -2 and TRUE. Logical values passed as arguments are included. 19 - What is the largest of -2 and FALSE. Logical values passed as arguments are excluded. 20 - What is the largest of the values in the array (2, TRUE). Logical values inside arrays are excluded. |
