dates max & min
hi all, please help
A B --------- ---------- date item --------- ---------- 02/14/04 azm 07/22/05 naf 11/21/05 naf 03/26/06 naf 04/18/07 naf 04/20/07 azm 05/19/07 azm 06/08/07 ktm 08/22/07 ktm i like to find the number of days between max and min dates for a given item in column B |
dates max & min
This is an array formula that must be entered using ctrl+shift+enter vs just
enter. ans=1190 =MAX(IF(B6:B14="azm",A6:A14))-MIN(IF(B6:B14="azm",A6:A14)) -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "excelFan" wrote in message ... hi all, please help A B --------- ---------- date item --------- ---------- 02/14/04 azm 07/22/05 naf 11/21/05 naf 03/26/06 naf 04/18/07 naf 04/20/07 azm 05/19/07 azm 06/08/07 ktm 08/22/07 ktm i like to find the number of days between max and min dates for a given item in column B |

Assume source data within A2:B10, dates in A2:A10, items in B2:B10
Assume unique items are listed in D2 down, viz: azm, naf, etc In E2, array-entered (press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to confirm the formula): =MAX(IF(B$2:B$10=$D2,A$2:A$10))-MIN(IF(B$2:B$10=D2,A$2:A$10)) Format E2 as general/number. Copy down. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "excelFan" wrote: hi all, please help A B --------- ---------- date item --------- ---------- 02/14/04 azm 07/22/05 naf 11/21/05 naf 03/26/06 naf 04/18/07 naf 04/20/07 azm 05/19/07 azm 06/08/07 ktm 08/22/07 ktm i like to find the number of days between max and min dates for a given item in column B |

Works fine Don,
in my case our subject (number of days) is just a part of a bigger formula, how to overcome using an arry formula.

Works fine Don,
in my case our subject (number of days) is just a part of a bigger formula, how to overcome using an arry formula. Give this non-array formula a try... =SUMPRODUCT(MAX((B2:B10=C2)*(A2:A10)))+SUMPRODUCT( MAX((B2:B10=C2)*(99999-A2:A10)))-99999 where I assumed the dates started in A2, the code items in B2 and the specified code item you wanted to calculate the date difference for in C2.

I do not get the 'min' part of your formula to produce the correct result.
Yes, for the data given and for item "azm" it works, but that appears to be because of the particular layout of the data. Try changing "azm" to "naf" to see the problem. Rick "Don Guillett" wrote in message ... Try this. Kind of tricky in that the max and min are DIFFERENT. =SUMPRODUCT(MAX((B6:B14="azm")*(A6:A14)))-SUMPRODUCT(MIN(B6:B14="azm",A6:A14)) -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "excelFan" wrote in message ...

Actually, I wondered why it would work. Sometimes I forget to FULLY test. -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "Rick Rothstein (MVP - VB)" wrote in message ...

many thanks Don,
this formula does not yield an ok numbers for the given data , may be because of the min part of it , so please fully test and revert. "Don Guillett" wrote: Try this.

Just wondering aloud why array-entering your combined formula (ie after
combining the original array suggested into your other, presumably non-array formula) didn't work for you. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |

galdly yes, there is a non array formula solved my issue, please refer to
Rick Rothstien's suggested non array formula above, it's just great excelFan "Max" wrote: Just wondering aloud why array-entering your combined formula (ie after combining the original array suggested into your other, presumably non-array formula) didn't work for you. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
