Find MAX of column from using 2 criterias
Spreadsheet (duh) with 3 columns:
Month, Vehicle Licence #, Odometer readings. Now looking at the Month and Vehicle Licence #, what is the lowest odometer reading and also what is the highest odometer reading, so as to calculate the distance travelled. Do not want to use Pivot tables - as columns will grow. Do not want to use array formula as end user is as useless as putting butter on bread with a toothpick. Thanks in advance. |

Find MAX of column from using 2 criterias
Hi,
Try this array formula. =MIN(IF(MONTH(A1:A20)=D1,IF(B1:B20=E1,C1:C20))) Change MIN to MAX to get the max value D1 is a number i.e. 4 for April and E1 is the reg No you want. You can then do a simple subtraction to get the mileage. This is an array formula which must be entered by pressing CTRL+Shift+Enter 'and not just Enter. If you do it correctly then Excel will put curly brackets 'around the formula {}. You can't type these yourself. If you edit the formula 'you must enter it again with CTRL+Shift+Enter. -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

OOPs,
Just spotted Do not want to use array formula as end user is as useless as putting butter on bread with a toothpick. I don't know how to do it without an array other than resorting to a UDF. -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

Find MAX of column from using 2 criterias
Do not want to use Pivot tables
Do not want to use array formula A2:A15 = month B2:B15 = licence # C2:C15 = odometer readings E1 = lookup month F1 = lookup licence # The max is fairly easy: =SUMPRODUCT(MAX((A2:A15=E1)*(B2:B15=F1)*C2:C15)) The min is a bit convoluted: =MIN(INDEX(((A2:A15=E1)*(B2:B15=F1)*C2:C15)+((A2:A 15<E1)+(B2:B15<F1))*1E+100,0)) You could use array formulas and include a reminder for the user: Array entered** : =MIN(IF(A2:A15=E1,IF(B2:B15=F1,C2:C15)))+N("Array Entered - CSE") =MAX(IF(A2:A15=E1,IF(B2:B15=F1,C2:C15)))+N("Array Entered - CSE") ** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then hit ENTER. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Sunnyskies" wrote in message ...
