Try this:

=MAX(B1,C1)

Returns whichever is the larger of the two.

Hope this helps.

I want a formula that returns the largest of two values located in
different
cells. For example, A1 = $15.00, B1 = formula 1, C1 = A1+5%. For D1, I
want
it to return either B1 or C1 with the criteria being if B1 is greater than
A1, then the answer is B1. If not, then the answer is C1. Any suggestions?
Thanks
