Description
There are two types of the formula 'Max'. Both will be described with an example.
The first type of the formula 'Max' returns the maximum of each element from identically shaped matrices with integers, real numbers or dates. The function 'Max' creates a new matrix with the maximum elements.
The second type of the formula 'Max' returns the maximum of each element from a specified dimension of a matrix with integers, real numbers or dates. The function 'Max' creates a new vector with the maximum elements of each row or column. When a matrix is empty, the long and double variant of the function 'Max' results in a 0 and the date variant results in an error.
Parameters
First formula 'Max':
Matrix 1: matrix 1, matrix 2, ... are 1 to 30 from which you want the maximum.
Second formula 'Max':
Matrix: the matrix you want to take the maximum over.
Dimension: the dimension of the matrix you want to take the maximum over. 1 means downwards (over rows), 2 means rightwards (over columns).
Example 1
Description
In the following example the first type formula 'Max' is used to get the maximum elements out of two matrices.
Values parameters
Matrix 1:
Column 1 | Column 2 |
35 |
82 |
96 |
23 |
Matrix 2:
Column 1 | Column 2 |
73 |
81 |
17 |
52 |
Result
Output:
Column 1 | Column 2 |
73 |
82 |
96 |
52 |
The result is a matrix with the maximum elements out of two matrices.
Example 2
Description
In the following example the formula 'Max' is used to get the maximum elements over the rows of a matrix.

Result
Output:
The result is a vector with the maximum elements over the rows of the matrix.
