This would require a circular formula in A2. This usually causes an error
(although you can allow it). I would suggest using a macro

Private Sub Worksheets_Calculate()
If range("A1").Value Range("A2").Value then
range("A2").Value = Range("A1").Value
End if
End Sub

Right click on the sheet tab and select view code. Paste in/write code
similar to the above.

I know this should be simple but I can't make it work.

If cell (A1) is greater cell (A2), place result in (A2)

Thank You
