I can not find the correct formula for the following scenario:

Cell "a" has a number in it. I need cell "c" to show a set default number
if the number is column "a" is greater than the set number and for it to show
the exact number is column "a" if the value is less than the set number.

IE: cell a = 5,868 cell c to show 5,868 since it is less than 11,000
 
If you want the formula to be in Cell "c" then it can't also have the
default value unless it is hard coded into the formula:

=MIN(A1,11000)

Ok - I am trying to create a table for my state withholding taxes for payroll
for our company. In column b I have the employees quarterly wages, in column
c I need it to show how much is excess wages and in column d I would like it
to figure the taxable amout which in our state goes up to $11,0000. For
example if someone had a quarterly wage of $5850.00, how do I get column d to
show that total amount because it is less than and not equal to $11,000 and
column c to show 0 because there is no excess at that time. Does this make
more sense?
 
In C1 enter =MAX((B1-11000),0)

In D1 enter =MIN(11000,B1)

If B1 contains <11000 you will get 0 in C1 and the amount in D1

If B1 contains >11000 you will get the difference in C1 and 11000 in D1
