    Question Returning the highest value in a range

    Can anyone help with a formula please.

    I have 6 cells in a table that each contains a value of anything between 1 and 4.
    I need a formula that will return the highest value contained within these 6 cells.

    try

    =max(A1:A6)

    If your data is not contiguous, you can use something like

    =MAX(B2,C7,E7,F9,G4)

    adjust ranges to suit your data cells.

    Hi,

    =MAX(range)

    so if your cells are A1 to A6,

    =MAX(A1:A6)
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1
