1 BROOK PINE 5/25 47
2 BROOK PINE 5/26 21
3 BROOK PINE 5/27 33
4 BROOK PINE 5/28 49
5 BROOK PINE 5/29 19
6 WHITE SNOW 5/25 23
7 WHITE SNOW 5/26 21
8 WHITE SNOW 5/27 77
9 WHITE SNOW 5/28 46

Try this array formula** :

=MAX(IF(A1:A10="white",D1:D10))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT
key then hit ENTER.

Is there a way to get the formula to pick up the cell with "WHITE" in it,
rather than entering "white" in the formula itself?

Again, thanks in advance...

Sure, just replace "white" with the cell reference:

F1 = white

=MAX(IF(A1:A10=F1,D1:D10))

Don't forget, array entered!
