Looking for the equivalent of a Maxif function
Does anyone know of a good way to find largest value in a column B, if and
only if it satisfies the criteria in column A? Much like a sumif or countif. For example, I have spreadsheet that lists all of my stores by market and by region, within those sheets. I am trying to find the largest value for each particular region. So I need the formula to look in column A for all instances where the region is equal to region 1, and then find the largest number in cloumn b that corresponds to all instances of region 1. I know I can do this by sorting my sheet by region, and locking down my ranges manually, but I run this file monthly and I have stores that open and close without my knowledge. Any thoughts? |

Try
=MAX(IF(A1:A100="Region 1",B1:B100)) confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER "PerplexedinKY" wrote: Does anyone know of a good way to find largest value in a column B, if and only if it satisfies the criteria in column A?

one way (array-entered: CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER or CMD-RETURN):
=MAX(IF(A1:A1000="Region 1"),A1:A1000)) In article , PerplexedinKY wrote: Does anyone know of a good way to find largest value in a column B, if and only if it satisfies the criteria in column A?
