I think this may be a toughy. I know the MAX function will identify the max
value in a range or whatever. I want to locate that Max and perform a
function ONLY on the Max value. A hypothetical. Suppose that I want to
subtract 50 from the item which is the MAX in a range:
100 150 200

I would like to return
100 150 150

But if it original date we
250 150 200
I would like to return
200 150 200.
Is there any way to do this?

Thanks,
Pradhan


In A2, adjust and fill right as needed:

=A1-50*(A1=MAX($A$1:$C$1))
