Hi, 

Can you please explain me why you used max function to filter the name of the company which is text?

MAX returns the largest numeric value right?

Hi bvsaicharitha,

The max function is an aggregate function, it could be used in the formula to filter the content of a column, not only the numeric value, you could also filter the text, date, time and other contents.
