The _MAX function returns the greater of two given numeric values.
Syntax
- maximum## = _MAX(value1, value2)
Parameters
- value1 and value2 are the two numbers to compare, any integer or floating point type is supported.
- maximum## is the greater of both values returned as _FLOAT type (suffix ##).
Description
- The function compares the given numeric values and then returns the greater of both numbers.
- Will return value1 if the values are equivalent.
Availability
-
none -
v4.0.0 -

yes
Examples
