I want a formula that returns the largest of two values located in different
cells. For example, A1 = $15.00, B1 = formula 1, C1 = A1+5%. For D1, I want
it to return either B1 or C1 with the criteria being if B1 is greater than
A1, then the answer is B1. If not, then the answer is C1. Any suggestions?
Thanks
 
You added an extra reference (and had them set up for the minimum I think).
I believe you wanted to post this formula instead...

=IF(C1>A1,C1,A1)

Okay, the only excuse for posting this formula is that it is late on a
Friday afternoon.<g>

=(A1+C1+ABS(A1-C1))/2

You might want to read a book on basic Excel. You'll definitely find your
answer there.
