For the dmax example in excel help it shows the table below. It shows how to
find the max profit of apple and pear trees, or the max profit of apple
trees. Because the criteria requires a column label ("Tree"), is there any
way to find the max profit of just pear trees? I tried
dmax(A4:E10,"Profit",A3), but this returned #VALUE! because the column label
is not included in the criteria. Thanks!
