Learn Practical Use of MAX Function and MIN Function in Excel Worksheets
The MAX function is used to get the maximum number from different given numbers in Excel Worksheet.

Syntax of MAX Function in Excel

MAX(number1,number2,number3,...numberN)
For example the function MAX(5,100,35) will return 100, since 100 is largest number of all 5, 100 and 35.

Syntax of MAX Function using Cell References

MAX(CellRef1:CellRef2)
Where CellRef1 is the cell reference of the first cell and CellRef2 is the cell reference of the last cell in the given cell range in Excel Worksheet.

What is MIN Function?

use of Min Function Microsoft Excel Formulas and Functions
The MIN function is used to get the minimum number from different given numbers in Excel Worksheet.

Syntax of MIN Function in Excel

MIN(number1,number2,number3,...numberN)
For example the function MIN(5,100,35) will return 5, since 5 is the smallest number of all 5, 100 and 35.

Syntax of MIN Function using Cell References

MIN(CellRef1:CellRef2)
Where CellRef1 is the cell reference of the first cell and CellRef2 is the cell reference of the last cell in the given cell range in Excel Worksheet.

 How To Implement MAX Function in Excel

 First of all place the cursor in an empty cell to enter the function.
  • Type =
  • Type the function name MAX

Algorithmic Notation with example algorithms  Advantages of  writing an Algorithm The process of solving a problem becomes simpler and easier with the help of  algorithm. There are less chance of errors in the program, if we design algorithms before writing our programs in any programming language. We can convert an algorithm into a program of any programming language. It is not dependent on any programming language. Therefore it is easy to understand for anyone even without programming knowledge.
