I have a large equipment database containing the equipment ID, the
odometer/hour reading, and the date it was taken. The list contains multiple
entries for each piece of equipment. I wish to sort through the list and
extract the lowest odometer/hour reading and extract the highest
odometer/hour reading for each piece of equipment. Any assistantance will be
appreciated.

hi,
use formulas. Max and Min

=MAX(A1:A2000) and =MIN(A1:A2000)

Adjust the the range to fit your data.

Let me be more specific. I want to extract from that list the equipment
ID(only once for each piece) and then the only lowest meter odometer reading
and highest reading for all of the entries made for each piece.

Dwain,

Try:

=SUMPRODUCT( MAX( (idrange=productid) *(odrange) ) )
=1 / SUMPRODUCT( MAX( (idrange=productid) * 1/(odrange) ) )

where "idrange" is the range of cells with the product IDs, "odrange" is the
corresponding range with the odometer readings, and "productid" is the ID you
want to look up.
