Finding the maximum of a subset of values on a different sheet
Easy! Not a VLOOKUP in sight!
Many thanks! "Dave Peterson" wrote: One way: =MAX(IF(Sheet2!A1:A10="hi",Sheet2!B1:B10)) This is an array formula. Hit ctrl-shift-enter instead of enter. If you do it correctly, excel will wrap curly brackets {} around your formula. (don't type them yourself.) Adjust the range to match--but you can't use the whole column. You could even check to see if there was any data that matched: =IF(COUNTIF(Sheet2!A1:A10,"hi")=0,"No matches", MAX(IF(Sheet2!A1:A10="hi",Sheet2!B1:B10))) (one cell, and still an array formula) rmellison wrote: I have a list of parameter names and a corresponding list of values; there may be ten or so of each of the parameters within the list. I have been using SUBTOTAL(4,range) to find the maximum of a parameter when filtered using autofilter, and up until now this has been fine. Now I find myself needing to do a similar thing for an unfiltered list which is on another worksheet. I want to be able to find the maximum of all the values corresponding to all entries of a particular parameter within a list. I suspect that the way to do it is using VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH to find an array of the numbers I want, and then finding the maximum of that array, but so far I haven't cracked it.... Any suggestions gladly appreciated... -- Dave Peterson |
