MAX (Numbers)

Returns the maximum numeric value found within a field or group. You can apply a filter to limit the rows in the search. You can also use MAX to return the latest date or the highest string value in a field or group.

You can nest only one other aggregate function within MAX.

You cannot nest aggregate functions in advanced mode.

Use only in

mapping

tasks.

Syntax

MAX( numeric_value [, filter_condition] )

Argument	Required/ Optional	Description
numeric_value	Required	Numeric data type. Passes the numeric values for which you want to return a maximum numeric value. You can enter any valid transformation expression.
filter_condition	Optional	Limits the rows in the search. The filter condition must be a numeric value or evaluate to TRUE, FALSE, or NULL. You can enter any valid transformation expression.

Return Value

Numeric value.

NULL if all values passed to the function are NULL or if no rows are selected (for example, the filter condition evaluates to FALSE or NULL for all rows).
