Hi Harry

I would just insert 3 rows above your existing header row.
Mark your header rowDataFilterAutofilter
In row 1 above Spend (let's assume Spend is in column D), enter
in D1 =SUBTOTAL(4,D5:D1000) this will give the Maximum
in D2 =SUBTOTAL(5,D5:D1000) this will give the Minimum
in D3 =SUBTOTAL(1,D5:D1000) this will give the Average

Now use the dropdowns to apply a filter to Name and select Jon, and a
filter to Category and select B

this is now solved.
Another question however,

in a similar manner is there a way to find the maximum, minimum and
average
numbers within the identified fields.
e.g.
Max.....of (--(Name="Jon"),--(Category=B"),Spend)

thanks

I've created a formula

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Name="Jon"),--(Category=B"),Spend)

which sums the spend when columns name = Jon and category = B.

I've now changed the "Spend" array to "SpendVol" array (which
represents a
new column)
therefore use
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Name="Jon"),--(Category=B"),SpendVol)
But this returns #VALUE.

This makes no sense as its the same formula just accessing a
different column.

Does anyone know why this would return this value or if there are any
bugs
that can occur in a file that would cause this.

Thanks
