Description | Use the max function to find the highest value in a set of values. You can use the max and min functions together to limit a value to a certain range. For example, the expression max(10,min(myValue,100)) yields a number between 10 and 100. If myValue is within the limits, the expression is equal to myValue; if it is greater than 100, the expression evaluates to 100; and if it is less than 10, the expression evaluates to 10. | ||||||
