Default Formula using "lesser of"

I need to build a formula that will calculate the lesser of a specific cell
total, or a constant #.

Example. If the calculation/formula of cell C13 = $500,000.... I need
cell C14 to automatically display C13's answer, or $685,000, whichever is
less. The answer in this example would obviously be $500,000, but can I
build a formula to calculate this?

Thank you!

Thanks, Rick!

I shouldn't even have tried to answer that question; I can't be trusted with even the simplest math!
