How to limit formula result to maximum or minimum value in Excel?

Here are some cells needed to be entered, and now I want to use a formula to sum up the cells but limit the result to a maximum value such as 100. In other words, if the summation is smaller than 100, display the summation, otherwise display 100.

Limit formula result to a maximum or minimum value

Limit formula result to a maximum or minimum value

To handle this task, you only need to apply the Max or Min function in Excel.

Limit formula result to maximum value (100)

Select a cell which you will place the formula at, type this formula =MIN(100,(SUM(A5:A10))), A5:A10 is the cell range you will sum up, and press Enter. Now, if the summation is greater than 100, it will display 100, if not, display the summation.

Summation is greater than 100, show 100
doc limi maximum minimum 1
Summation is smaller than 100, show summation
doc limi maximum minimum 2

Limit formula result to minimum value (20)

Select a cell which you place the formula at, type this =MaX(20,(SUM(A5:A10))), A5:A10 is the cell range you will sum up, and press Enter. Now, if the summation is smaller than 20, it will display 20; if not, display the summation.

Summation is smalller than 20, show 20
doc limi maximum minimum 3
Summation is greater than 20, show summation
doc limi maximum minimum 4

I would like the cell to return the value calculated, but is less than the minimum, it will only show the minimum but if greater than the maximum it will only show the maximum, but if in between the true value would appear. But the range may changed on the level chosen. D4 - insert current salary / D6 choose level / D7 would show minimum of that level and D8 would show the maximum of that level. D9 would be the percentage in increase and E9 would show the new calculcation. D11 titled new salary would display the calculation but if less than the minimum on show the minimum value, if greater the maximum only show the maximum value

=IF(SUMIFS('FR-4---Recoveries from Merchant'!$K:$K,'FR-4---Recoveries from Merchant'!$E:$E,$A15)>$C15,SUMPRODUCT(SMALL(INDEX(('FR-4---Recoveries from Merchant'!$K$8:$K$27)+('FR-4---Recoveries from Merchant'!$E$8:$E$27<>$A15)*1E+99,,),ROW($1:$7))),(SUMIFS('FR-4---Recoveries from Merchant'!$K:$K,'FR-4---Recoveries from Merchant'!$E:$E,$A15)))

That's final solution I was able to provide

My question is, if the summation exceeds the maximum, I would like to return value less than the maximum, say for instance, the total is #5,000,000 and I could only pay #4,634,642.50 as the available amount. then I would like to return value like Sum(₦1,001,000.00, ₦59,197.50,₦641,000.00,₦1,751,000.00,₦101,000.00,₦1,021,000.00), which is lower than the available amount. Also, for easy reconciliation, we could refer to the specific invoice numbers.

Hi! This instruction is awesome. Thank you! I have a further question: if the summation exceeds the maximum, I would like to return the value 0 instead of the maximum. Is there a way to do that?
Thank you!

I am trying to limit the amount in a cell to a max of 24. I am calculating the number of hours worked divided by 30 with this formula, for example
=F5/K1

F5 is the specific employees hours worked,
and K1 is a hidden cell with a value of 30
(because for every 30 hours they work, they earn 1 hour of sick time) but the max limit is 24 hours in a year and i don't know how to limit the total to a max of 24 hours earnable.
Any help?

Hi, V Rogers, try this formula: =MIN(1,SUM(E:E)/K1)
in the formula, E:E is the column that contains employees' work hours, you can change it as you need., the result cell (F5) needed to be formatted as 37:30:55 in the Format Cells dialog. See screenshot:

Hi, try this formula: =IF(SUM(D1:D2)>1000,0,SUM(D1:D2))
D1 and D2 is the first two data that used to add.

Good day,

does anyone have an idea how this works on multiplication formulas?

A1*A20= 100, but min value shall be 120

Is there a formula that always shows at least 120?

Hi, use formula like this: =MAX(120,(A1*A20))

For anyone looking to have a min AND a max, use the following formula:

=MIN(+20,MAX(-20,SUM(A5:A10)))

This will limit the calculated sum to between -20 and +20, or any number of your choosing.

Hola, estoy intentando aplicar la fórmula pero no me funciona. En mi caso el valor min es en horas, no se si es por eso que me da error.

Lo que quiero hacer es una celda que repita el valor de la celda adyacente limitando a un máximo de 8 horas. A ver si me pueden ayudar, gracias.
