maximum value of a cell
 
I'm trying to set the maximum value of a cell to 10 but can't seem to get it
right.

Here's my formula so far, any idea's please?

=SUM(B30-140)

maximum value of a cell
 
hi
....uh...how would a formula limit the value???
use data validation.
on the menu bar....
datavalidation
in the settings tab...
set to whole number or decimal
less than or equal to
10
on the message tab...
allert!
Enter a value 10 or less
on the error tab....
IDIOT!!!!!
the value excedes 10. try again.

Maybe:

=MAX(10,B30-140)

Hope this helps.
