Hello,

I am looking for a formula that 
- First identify the rows that have all three rates like D,I.
- secondly find out highest rate out of three rates like in D:0.3289, I:0.20321.

Good morning.

Suppose your data at A2:C11

Do: 
D2 -->  =IF(COUNTIF(A2:C2,">0")=3,MAX(A2:C2),"")
Copy it down

This will test your criteria and show highest number.

BUT... to DELETE the highest number it will be necessary to use VBA.
 
I hope it helps.

Good afternoon.

I don't know VBA.
Maybe another user can build the VBA routine for you.

If you want to test some formulas to do your task I did a small example for you:

Is what you desire?

I hope it helps.
