The following Array formula retulrns the maximum value in column E
where the value in Column H is Blue {=MAX(($E$2:$E$115)*($H$2:$H$115="Blue"))} How would I return the text in Column B for which is on the same line as the maximum value in column E where the value in Column H is Blue I'm using Excel 2003 TIA A |

One way
=INDEX($B$2:$B$115,MATCH(MAX(($E$2:$E$115)*($H$2:$ H$115="Blue"))&"Blue",$E$2:$E$115&$H$2:$H$115,0)) array entered "Vlad" wrote: The following Array formula retulrns the maximum value in column E where the value in Column H is Blue {=MAX(($E$2:$E$115)*($H$2:$H$115="Blue"))} How would I return the text in Column B for which is on the same line as the maximum value in column E where the value in Column H is Blue I'm using Excel 2003 TIA A |

Vlad,
It's still an array =INDEX($B$2:$B$115,MATCH(MAX(($E$2:$E$115)*($H$2:$ H$115="Blue")),$E$2:$E$115,FALSE),1) Mike "Vlad" wrote: The following Array formula retulrns the maximum value in column E where the value in Column H is Blue {=MAX(($E$2:$E$115)*($H$2:$H$115="Blue"))} How would I return the text in Column B for which is on the same line as the maximum value in column E where the value in Column H is Blue I'm using Excel 2003 TIA A |

you would get an incorrect result if the data we
2 red 5 red 5 blue 4 green where another color happens to have a number that equals blues max and appears before blue in the list.

Thanks for the suggestion but they don't work for me as it is quite likely that there would be duplicate items with the same max value. I thought something like {=MAX(($E$2:$E$115)*($H$2:$H$115=$J4)*($B$2:$B $115))} would work but it doesn't. Any other suggestions? TIA |

Array Formula - Offset Result Problem
I put the following data into a test sheet:-
1 COL B COL E COL H 2 Test 1 2 red 3 Test 2 5 red 4 Test 3 5 blue 5 Test 4 4 green When I put the array forumla =INDEX($B$2:$B$115,MATCH(MAX(($E$2:$E $115)*($H$2:$H$115="Blue")),$E$2:$E$115,FALSE),1) into cell L2 it returns the test Test 2 whereas I was expecting Test 3. I have uploaded the file to http://www.mediafire.com/?vglvvl3jtn0 - not sure whether you would be happy to open it though but it's there if you want. TIA Andy |

that was not my suggestion. my suggestion was
=INDEX($B$2:$B$115,MATCH(MAX(($E$2:$E$115)*($H$2:$ H$115="Blue"))&"Blue",$E$2:$E$115&$H$2:$H$115,0)) array entered - which returns Test 3 for me.
