Hi,

Are you in Excel or a database program? What exactly do you mean by
"database"? Are you talking about the List Manager?

If your 3 columns of data are in A1:C1000, then in D1 enter the formula you
were alreay given =MAX(A1:C1) and copy it down to D1000. You can use the
results in column D in other formula, of course or you can do something with
the result right in column D, for example:

=IF(MAX(A1:C1)50,"Important",MAX(A1:C1)/100)

Database programs, such as Fox Pro, Access, also allow this kind of
calculation, however, the syntax varies.

Otto,

Can this be used in a database? Where I have three columns of numbers?

Say your 3 columns are A:C starting in row 1.
In D1 enter "=MAX(A1:C1)" without the quotes. Drag that formula down by the
fill handle as far as you have data. HTH Otto
