This finds the minimum value in the A range subject to the corresponding B

See if this array formula works for you:
=MIN(IF(PO1=A2,IF(Created<"",Created),"")) NOTE: Array functions are entered with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER instead of just Enter. If done properly, the formula will be enclosed in { }.

Thanks you for responding Peo
If you meant for me to add this to the sumproduct formula, it failed. If you meant for me to use as is, it returns the min date without considering the criteria. What I am looking for is: 'What is the earliest date (ignor blanks) in this range (column B) which meets the specifed criteria (Column A, Row n). If there are no blanks I can use: sumproduct(MIN(--(PO1=A2)*Issued1)) and this returns the latest date, where PO1 is my criteria range and Issued1 are the dates. Is there something I can do to this formula to obtain the minimum date in the range?

Hi Bernard and thank you for responding. I found a formula yesterday which
enabled me to find the latest/max date within a range and subject to a criteria. This formula was: =sumproduct(MAX(--(A:A=A1)*B:B)). So I thought I could use this to find the first date/min. However, because there are blanks agains some criteria these are picked up as the minimum values. I am therefore hoping there is something I can do the the sumproduct formula above that will skip the blanks and give the the first date against a specifed criteria with multiple dates. If this is not enough info. I will send you an example spreadsheet if that pos.

Well that formula is not needed and it doesn't make any sense. You seem to
want 2 criteria, no blank dates since they would be dates over 100 years ago and a criteria in another range, =MIN(IF(Range1="x",IF(Date_Range<"",Date_Range))) will return the earliest date where Range1 equals x, adapt to fit your requirements and this time enter the formula with ctrl + shift & enter and finally make sure the cell with this formula is formatted as date or you will get the serial number -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Gwynneth" wrote in message ...

Hello Peo,
I'm working with the formula below, but can't figure it out. I've got a row of dates and values: 10/07 11/07 12/07 01/08 02/08 20 20 And would like to test the second row for the existence of data and return the Max date in one column and the Min dates in another column.

Works fine for me when I test it using your example, you might have text is
some of the values and your dates are very ambiguous Excel can only accept dates that includes year, month and day if you omit one it will put whatever it considers a date so if you type in 05/09 today Excel will guess that you are trying to type 05/09/2007 even though you did not mean that Anyway I just tested it and using my formula and the dates in your example it returned 12/08 for MAX and 03/09 for MIN -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Blueglass" wrote in message ...

Hello Peo, I'm working with the formula below, but can't figure it out. I've got a row of dates and values: 10/07 11/07 12/07 01/08 02/08 20 20 And would like to test the second row for the existence of data and return the Max date in one column and the Min dates in another column. Is that possible? Thank you. "Peo Sjoblom" wrote: Well that formula is not needed and it doesn't make any sense. You seem to want 2 criteria, no blank dates since they would be dates over 100 years ago and a criteria in another range, =MIN(IF(Range1="x",IF(Date_Range<"",Date_Range))) will return the earliest date where Range1 equals x, adapt to fit your requirements and this time enter the formula with ctrl + shift & enter and finally make sure the cell with this formula is formatted as date or you will get the serial number -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Gwynneth" wrote in message ... Hi Bernard and thank you for responding. I found a formula yesterday which enabled me to find the latest/max date within a range and subject to a criteria. This formula was: =sumproduct(MAX(--(A:A=A1)*B:B)). So I thought I could use this to find the first date/min. However, because there are blanks agains some criteria these are picked up as the minimum values. I am therefore hoping there is something I can do the the sumproduct formula above that will skip the blanks and give the the first date against a specifed criteria with multiple dates. If this is not enough info. I will send you an example spreadsheet if that pos. Thanks again -- Gwynneth "Bernard Liengme" wrote: This finds the minimum value in the A range subject to the corresponding B value being "a". But if there are two cases you get twice the answer. =SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A16=MIN(A1:A16)),--(B1:B16="a")) Can you please expand on your problem. You want to find the minimum value of PO1 with the proviso that the date in also in the range Created1? With named ranges we cannot see the whole picture. For example what is the size of each range? best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "Gwynneth" wrote in message ... I am trying to find the minimum date in a range, which contains blanks. subject to a criteria. As the range contains blanks, these are currently picked up as the min date and display 00-Jan-00. Is there a way of using sumproduct and excluding/ignoring blank cells? PO1 is my range for criteria and Created1 is my range on the dates I am using in the following formula =Sumproduct(MIN(--(PO1=A2)*Created1)) Gwynneth -- Gwynneth |
