MaxIf

The MaxIf function finds the maximum value for a column or group if the conditions are true.

Syntax

MaxIf(field, condition)

Function arguments:

• field (required) - The column to be searched. Can be of type Number, Date, and String.
• condition (required) - The condition to test. If the condition is True, then the row will be factored into the aggregate.  You can use operators in conditions.

📘

The maximum of strings is determined by sort order, which is affected by your database settings. Sort order is most often blank spaces > special characters > numbers > uppercase letters > lowercase letters.

For numbers, preceding and trailing zeroes most often have no effect on sort order.

Examples

• Finds the greatest Invoice Date for all entries where the State indicated is Texas.

MaxIf(\[Sales\], \[Region\] = "East" AND \[Status\] = "Complete")

• Finds the maximum Sale value for entries in the "East" Region that are marked as "Complete".
