Max Value From Multiple Fields in Microsoft Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I'm going to teach you how to find the maximum value from multiple fields in the same record. We're going to use multiple nested IIF functions.

Tabitha from Knoxville, Tennessee (a Platinum Member) asks: I have a table where I'm tracking quiz and test scores for my students. Every quarter they take 3 quizzes and 3 tests. Their grade is calculated by taking the average of the three tests and the largest grade from the quizzes. So let's say they got quiz grades of 80, 75, and 70, and then got 100s on all of their tests. Their final grade would be (100+100+100+80) / 4 = 95. My question to you is how can I determine the largest of the three quiz grades?
