title: Is there a function to get the max of two values in Google BigQuery?
body: <p>I want to get the maximum value of 2 Integer (or 2 float).</p>
  
  <p>I know I can do it with a IF function like this: 
      IF (column1 > column2, column1, column2)</p>
  
  <p>however I was wondering if a function to do that exists or if there is a plan to add that kind of function in the future.</p>
  
  <p>In MySQL there is the GREATER function that can do that. Example: GREATER(column1, column2).</p>
