Find lowest and highest value from a set of rows
 

I think I have a complicated problem. Hope somebody can solve this for me

ACC 25 30 29
ACC 24 29 28
ACC 26 28 25
BCC 18 19 17
BCC 17 18 14
BCC 20 21 19

These are 6 rows. Now I would like to find the lowest value in ACC 3 rows
and lowest value in BCC 3 rows. Also a provise for incrementing the rows i
mean if one more ACC rows is insert it has to take that also into account.
Further a chart from low value to high value. I have been trying but with no
luck. If somebody could help me, I would appreciate it. Thanks

Try these *array* formulas:

=MAX(IF(A1:A7="ACC",B1:D7))

=MAX(IF(A1:A7="BCC",B1:D7))

--
Array formulas are entered using CSE, <Ctrl <Shift <Enter, instead of the
regular <Enter, which will *automatically* enclose the formula in curly
brackets, which *cannot* be done manually.

NOW, you said "insert".
As you insert an entire row, the formulas will revise *automatically* to
include the additional rows.

You did say "lowest" in your post, but the subject line said lowest *AND*
highest.

So, just change the MAX to MIN, and you'll have them both.

I have tried the following but it shows and #Value Error. Can you let me
know why this occurs

=MAX(IF(A1:A3="BCC",B1:B3))

Did you enter the formula using CSE?

I repeat:

brackets, which *cannot* be done manually.

I should add, that even after a revision of the formula, you must use CSE!

An array formula must *end up* being enclosed in curly brackets.
