    Adding "Max" to Formula to Get the Highest Number when solution is more than one Number

    I want to add the "Max" or "Large" function to the complex formula for column L so that only the highest number out of the three from columns D, E, and F is shown. So the end result for L10 cell is 179. I have attached a sample.

    OK. I understand the formula now (and have simplified it). But I need to know the PRODUCT you're using.

    No reply. So, this will work for O365 and not earlier products.

    Re: Adding "Max" to Formula to Get the Highest Number when solution is more than one Numbe

    Max, I have Office 365 so that is not a problem. However, when I download you file I get the number "160179", but what I want is just the number "179". I downloaded the sample file and it shows the 6 digit number rather than a three digiti number. Am I missing something?

    Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but I was not home all day.

    I have updated my profile to reflect I have Office 365.

    Thanks for your help.

    Work for Ex2016 or older:
    Although I can't predict what your formidable formula will produce, I guess as follows:
    For the rows where column I >= 12 and column J <= 20, take the maximum value from columns C, D, E, and this value must be greater than 150.
    If that's correct, then I hope the formula below yields the correct result:
    L2:

    That's what happens when you rely on a non-working formula to tell us what you want!

    Try this. no copy paste. the formula (L2) spills down the column
