MIN/MAX and Lookup
 

Good afternoon,

This is a bit complicated, I think, but in short, I would like to be able to
pick out the highest and lowest values from a column, and populate them in
another field. Example:

Column A Column B
1| Car 15
2| Apple 12
3| Dog 4

So A & B1 would be the highest (Car 15)
And A & B3 would be the lowest (Dog 4)

How could I get a formula that would look at the highest value in B, match
it up with the corresponding value in A, and then show both?

Thank you,
Stacy

MIN/MAX and Lookup
 

Try this:

D1: =MAX(B1:B3)
D2: =MIN(B1:B3)

E1 and copied down to E2:

=INDEX(A$1:A3,MATCH(D1,B$1:B$3,0))

=INDEX(A1:A3,MATCH(MAX(B:B),B:B,0),1)&" "&MAX(B:B)

=INDEX(A1:A3,MATCH(MIN(B:B),B:B,0),1)&" "&MIN(B:B)
