In Excel, the formula =MAX(range) or =MIN(range) can help you get the max or min value in a range.

To select a blank cell below the first day column, for instance, Cell B6, and type this formula =MAX(B2:B5) into it, and press Enter key, then you will get max value of first day. Then drag the autofill handle right to fill this formula to the cells you need, now you get all max values in each day. See screenshot:

Note: To calculate the Min values of every day, please apply this formula =MIN(B2:B5) in Cell B6, and drag its Fill handle right to the cells as you need.
