Default Struggling with IF formula...is it even the right one for me?

:
Let's say that I have a value in one cell, call it X. X is a numerical value
that needs not be touched or modified UNLESS it exceeds another numerical
value in another cell, call it Y. If it DOES exceed Y, then it must be made
to show as EQUAL to the value in Y. If it doesn't, it can show whatever it
is in reality.


in X1, put =MIN(whatever, Y1)

If "whatever" is smaller, X1 has that value. If "whatever" is larger,
X1 has the value of Y1.
