Is it possible to create query that results in the maximum value for a set of records? I see SumValues and Size, but no Maximum.

    There should be Max function. 

    Hope this helps.

    So while this has resulted in a bit of showing off knowledge for other purposes, the simple answer is that it cannot be done (as of July 2023). 

    If only Quickbase had a Formula that accepted a "Max" argument as a delimiter-separated string instead of multiple arguments.  There is not way to turn a string such as "1; 2; 4; 10" into multiple argument for the Max function to process.

    There is a way to pull this off in a Pipeline, but no way to run a Query for max and no way to determine max in a Formula Field.
