    How can I use the word Max as text in a formula?

    Stumped in Texas !

    I am trying to use the word MAX as text in a formula without any success.

    This works:

    [TEXT($T10,"#0.0000 R")]

    This does not:

    [TEXT($T10,"#0.0000 MAX")]

    Other letters work ( TAX, Dax etc.) but not M.


    Any and all help is appreciated as always!!!

    Try this:

    =TEXT($T10,"#0.0000")&" MAX"

    Thanks for the quick response Ali !

    I tried the code you recommended but I am still getting a #VALUE error.

    I am attaching an example which should show what I am trying to accomplish.

    I was hoping that it was just my lack of Excel skills on this one...It appears to be a more difficult problem then I thought.
