To Chose Number or Bigger Number

[emika]

Hello,
I have A1 and B1. There are three situations:

A1 B1
Situation 1. Number Text
Situation 2 Text Number
Situatio 3 Number Number


C1 should show number for first two cases and higher number in third case. Also if in first two cases the number is 0, C1 should be Blank.

It is ok if can be done by more than one step
Please help me guys. I do really appreciate your help.

Try...

=IF(COUNT(A1:B1)=2,MAX(A1:B1),IFERROR(LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,1/A1:B1,A1:B1),""))

Try this formula:
=IF(ISTEXT(A1),IF(B1=0,"",B1),IF(ISTEXT(B1),IF(A1=0,"",A1),MAX(A1:B1)))

It is ok if can be done by more than one step

What do you mean by that??

I'm wondering if in Situation 3 it is possible with your data for both numbers to be 0 and, if so, what result you want, or if negative numbers are possible?

It may be that you can suffice with just

=IF(MAX(A1:B1)=0,"",MAX(A1:B1))
