I want to take element-wise maximum of two columns, that is pick whichever is larger in every row. So, with the input
+-------+
| A B |
+-------+
| 3 8 |
| 5 2 |
| 2 7 |
+-------+
the output should be a column with 8, 5, 7.
The function MAX can do this for two values like max(A2, B2)
but when I try array formula
=arrayformula(max(A2:A4, B2:B4))
the output is just 8, the overall maximum.

Since it's just two columns,
