To find the maximum value in Google Sheets, you can use the MAX function by typing =MAX(range) into a cell, where the range is the group of cells you want to find the maximum value in. Here's how to do it:
Click on the cell where you want the result of the maximum value to appear. This is where the formula will go.
Type in the MAX function to find the maximum value. The basic syntax of the MAX function is as follows:
=MAX(range)
The range is the group of cells you're looking to find the maximum value in. It can be a single column, a row, or a more complex group of cells.
After typing =MAX, you need to specify the range of cells. For example, if you're looking for the maximum value in cells A1 through A10, you would enter:
=MAX(A1:A10)
Below is the result:
You can find the maximum value over multiple ranges by separating them with commas inside the function, like =MAX(A1:A10, C1:C10).
This is the result:
You can also include individual numbers as part of the range directly in the formula to compare the cell values with these numbers, like =MAX(A1:A10, 5, 20).
The output is as follows:
