A string expression of the conditon that defines what cells should be used to calculate the maximum.

<paragraph id="par_id50762995519951" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">If you need to change a criterion easily, you may want to specify it in a separate cell and use a reference to this cell in the condition of the MAXIFS function. For example, the above function can be rewritten as follows:</paragraph>
