I am trying to get the MAX value form a list using an IF statement with
March 1st 2006 as the condition. Based on the following abbreviated
table, I wrote the following formula:

={MAX(IF((A2:A7<C1),B2:B7,0)}

Date Rate March 1, 2006
January 1, 2006 1.1511
January 31, 2006 1.1560
February 1, 2006 1.1573
February 28, 2006 1.1614
March 1, 2006 1.1593
March 31, 2006 1.1450


I want to be able to rewrite the condition to specify a date range such
as greater than Jan 31st but less than March 1st. Any help would be
appreciated
