MS Office Forum / Excel / Worksheet Functions / May 2008MAX value matching multiple criteria
Hi I have a spreadsheet that contains text and time information such as below: a b c 1 north high 5:21 2 south low 6:42 3 north low 7:14 4 north high 3:56 5 east low 2:14 6 north low 2:02 7 north high 2:37 All of the information in the spreadsheet is the result of formulas from other data (in other sheets). I need a formula that will provide the maximum time (in Col C) in a row where (for example) the Col A is "north" and Col B is "high". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. =SUMPRODUCT(MAX((A1:A7="north")*(B1:B7="high")*C1:C7))  SignatureGary''s Student - gsnu200785 Add a header row to your data: Compass Level Time north high 5:21 south low 6:42 north low 7:14 north high 3:56 east low 2:14 north low 2:02 north high 2:37 Create a criteria range: Compass Level north high In this formula, I used E1:F2 for the criteria range. Enter formula: =DMAX(A1:C8,3,E1:F2) > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Any help would be greatly appreciated. > Thanks. DMAX makes it easy to change criteria to find other combinations of values... But you could also use the following array formula: =MAX(C2:C8*((A2:A8="north")*(B2:B8="high"))) Enter as array with ctrl+shift+enter > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Any help would be greatly appreciated. > Thanks. =MAX(INDEX((A1:A7="north")*(B1:B7="high")*C1:C7,0)) > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Any help would be greatly appreciated. > Thanks. Just as a point of information, can anyone out there with access to Fast Excel or other similar software determine which of these formulas would be faster and less resource intensive? Say you size them to 7,000 rows. Gary's Sumproduct: =SUMPRODUCT(MAX((A1:A7000="north")*(B1:B7000="high")*C1:C7000)) Tm's Index: =MAX(INDEX((A1:A7000="north")*(B1:B7000="high")*C1:C7000,0)) OR, a standard *array* entered formula: =MAX((A1:A7000="north")*(B1:B7000="high")*C1:C7000) SignatureRegards, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Any help would be greatly appreciated. > Thanks. http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/5620/calctimesme8.jpg Times based on Charles Williams RangeTimer method: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa730921.aspx SignatureBiff Microsoft Excel MVP > Just as a point of information, can anyone out there with access to Fast > Excel or other similar software determine which of these formulas would be [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >> Any help would be greatly appreciated. >> Thanks. Thanks for your effort in this Biff. I had a suspicion that perhaps that Index formula might be the fastest, but I can see I was way off. Good old Sumproduct appears to be a steady, all-around, workhorse choice.

Those look like recalculaion times. I get similar results when I test the recalculation time. I tested the *initial* calculation times.
