# max()

Returns the maximum value of a dimension or measure field.

## Example - Find the Largest Opportunity for Each Account

```nolang

```

## Example - Find the Last Value in List of Airline Destinations per Origin

For dimensions, `max()` sorts the values alphabetically and the last value is returned.

q = group q by 'origin';
q = foreach q generate 'origin' as 'Origin', max('dest') as 'Max Destination';
```
