Roll-Up Child Account Data

What are some methods to roll up child account data to the parent account level?

 

A parent account has three child accounts, want the maximum value of a field of all four accounts.

 

For example:

 

ChildRecord1.Field1 = 5

ChildRecord2.Field1 = 2

ChildRecord3.Field1 = 9

ParentRecord.Field1 = 7

 

ParentRecord.Field1Max = 9

 

Out of the four accounts themaximum field value is 9.  How can this be returned to the parent level?

-Thanks

You could create a trigger to populate the value on the parent Account when a child Account is updated, inserted or deleted. You'd have to populate the values initially via a data load of some sort but then you could activate a trigger to essentially compare the existing parent Account value to the child Account value. If child value is greater than parent, overwrite parent value.
