Conditional comparison of values.
{=MAX(IF(OFFSET(C38,0,0,$A$1-ROW(C38)+1,1)<0,(OFFSET(G38,0,0,$A$1-ROW(G38)+1,1))))}
Assuming there are no empty/blank cells *within* the range.
Array entered:
=MAX(IF(C38:INDEX(C38:C56,COUNT(C38:C56))<0,G38:IN DEX(G38:G56,COUNT(C38:C56))))
But, why use a dynamic range when the entire range is relatively small?

Hi, I'm trying to amend the array formula shown in my post below into a
dynamic array formula. I've got as far as the following :
{=MAX(IF(OFFSET(C38,0,0,$A$1-ROW(C38)+1,1)<0,(OFFSET(G38,0,0,$A$1-ROW(G38)+1,1))))}
But I'm getting an error message returned. Can anyone spot where I'm going
wrong ?
Many Thanks

Dear Biff
Many thanks for your help, looks to be working OK!! I'll now try to
modify
it to create a dynamic range.
=MAX(IF(G38:G56<0,G38:G56))

Try this array formula** :
=MAX(IF(A1:A3<0,B1:B3))
** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)

Hi, I'm trying to select the highest value in a column (which I can
do
with
=MAX), but only if the value in an adjacent column is a negative
number
e.g.
A B
1 10 18
2 -3 20
3 4 22
Although B3 is the highest value, I want to select B2 as it is the
next
highest with a negative value in the equivalent row, A2. Presumably I
need
some sort of condition applied to the MAX function ?
