Hi
just wondering why you do not want to use the MAX function (homework??)
But try:
IF(COUNTIF(B1:D1,"<" & A1)=3,"MAX",IF(COUNTIF(B1:D1,"<" & A1)0,"MAX
one or more","smallest"))

The "large" function will be helpfull but I was really just trying to
determine the difference in a basic formula between "and" and "or"
scenarios.
I am a bit of a novice and would really appreciate if you could write
a
simple formula for the enclosed scenario. Thanks again.

I have values in cells A1:D1. In cell F1, I would like a formula
that
will
print the words "Max all" if A1B1 and A1C1 and A1D1.
I would also like a formula in cell G1 that will print the words
"Max
one or
more" if A1B1 or A1C1 or A1D1.
I do not want to use the "max" command in either of the above
formulas.
Thanks for the help.
