HOW TO COMPARE THREE NUMBER AND USE THE HIGHER NUMBER IN A FORMUL.
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 "Tommydog" wrote in message ...

Otto,
Can this be used in a database? Where I have three columns of numbers? "Otto Moehrbach" wrote: Say your 3 columns are A:C starting in row 1. In D1 enter "=MAX(A1:C1)" without the quotes.

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. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.
