I have a spreadsheet with three columns.
A: A date for every hour for the month (ie. 1/1/06 24 times)
B: The hour
C: A dollar amount

I need to form a result that provides the max dollar amount per day, and I
need to show the hour that it occurs on. I have no problem getting the max
amount per day, but how do I also display the hour?

Thank you,

I'm sorry, I tried for simplicity sake to make my example too generic. I was
able to solve the problem I submitted using 'Consolidate'. I think it worked
because the hour column is numeric. In reality my middle column is text and
consolidate is not picking it up. How can I display a miscellanious text
field when doing a max amount by day?

Cathy,

Would a Macro do?

If so then with Column D formatted as Currency and Column E formatted as
Time try:

Option Explicit
Sub MaxPerDay()
Dim R As Long
Dim x As Long
Dim D As Double
Dim MaxVal As Double
Dim MaxHour As String

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
D = Cells(1, 1).Value2

R = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

MaxVal = Cells(1, 3).Value

For x = 1 To R
If Cells(x, 1).Value2 = D Then
If Cells(x, 3).Value MaxVal Then
MaxVal = Cells(x, 3).Value
MaxHour = Cells(x, 2).Value

End If

End If

If Cells(x, 1).Value2 < D Then
Cells(x - 1, 4).Value = MaxVal
Cells(x - 1, 5).Value2 = MaxHour
D = Cells(x, 1).Value2
MaxVal = Cells(x, 3).Value
MaxHour = Cells(x, 2).Value
D = Cells(x, 1).Value2

End If

Next x

Cells(R, 4).Value = MaxVal
Cells(R, 5).Value2 = MaxHour
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
