I have a small table of data, named MyTable:

A A2
1 3
5 7
Totals 10

When I input the formula =Max(MyTable[#Data]) then I get 10 whereas I
should get 7

I don't think I am wrong!!!

What do you think?

Does the range MyTable include the "10" in the total line? HTH Otto

According to the help files, the last line of Totals is not part of
the #Data; if I wanted to include Totals I should use #All instead.

What I did is I created my table as:

A A2
1 3
5 7

Then I went to the menu and added the Totals row; this row is
absolutely not part of #data.

I placed 1, 3, 5, 7 in 4 contiguous cells. In another cell, I typed =Max(
and selected the 4 cells and hit Enter. I got 7. The range that your Max
formula is working with has to include the 10 for the formula to result in
10. HTH Otto

Why you need a formula? Just click the drop down button and select MAX
function in the Total row

This works for me:

=Max(MyTable[Data])
