Finding the Max (or Min) Value across Columns

Greg Dodd tries out some new syntax:

Have you ever had 2 columns in a table that you need to select the maximum value from? Not the maximum value from each column, but the biggest value after comparing the columns?

Usually where I have this problem, I’d use a CASE statement, but there’s another way. 

I do like GREATEST() and LEAST() (or argmax/argmin if you’re used to those terms), though Greg does include how you can get the same functionality in versions prior to SQL Server 2022.
