Need to calculate sum of a range of MAX values

[mom_]

In A1:A5 I have the following values:

12 9 6 11 10

I am trying to write a formula to calculate the sum of A1:A5, but apply MAX(ref, 10) to each value before calculating the sum. The result should be 45, calculated as 10+9+6+10+10. Is this possible to somehow include an array with a MAX formula? Ideally I will not use helper columns.

Thank you.

=sum(if(a1:a5>10,10,a1:a5))

Try

=SUMIF(A1:A5,">=10")

Thank you dohvakin123. I did have to use IF functions instead of MAX. Solved.
