MAX
Use MAX to return the largest value in a list of numeric values. When you use this function, cells containing logical values, error values, or text (except for text that represents a numeric value), or cells that are empty are ignored.
=MAX(Number1,Number2, ...)
There must be at least one Number argument
specified for the function.
Figure 15-28 compares the results of MAX and MAXA

logical value of TRUE to 1 it
returns that value as the largest value.
