MAXA Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Finding the largest value including text and logicals for broader peaks
Understanding the MAXA Formula
The MAXA function in Excel finds the largest value in a range, treating text as 0 and logical values (TRUE/FALSE) as 1/0. It’s a wider net than MAX, capturing peaks in mixed datasets—like scores with flags.
MAXA(A1:A5) with 10, 'text', TRUE, , 50 returns 50 (TRUE as 1, text as 0). It’s inclusive, making it useful when non-numeric data needs consideration in finding the maximum.
Why Use MAXA?
MAXA embraces all—think mixed entries or status checks. Its broader scope ensures you’re not missing peaks hidden in diverse data, offering a fuller maximum perspective.
Example with Sample Data
| Values | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 10, 'text', TRUE | =MAXA(A1:A3) | 10 |
| 5, FALSE, 15 | =MAXA(A1:A3) | 15 |
| -1, 'abc', 3 | =MAXA(A1:A3) | 3 |
MAXA spans all: 10 beats text (0) and TRUE (1). It’s an inclusive maxer.
