MAXIFS
Formulas / MAXIFSFind the maximum value in a range using criteria.
=MAXIFS(max_range, criteria_range1, criteria1, criteria_range2, criteria2, ...)
- max_range - the actual range of cells to determine the maximum in
- criteria_range1 - the set of cells to be evaluated with the criteria
- criteria1 - the criteria that defines which cells to evaluate as maximum
- criteria_range2, ... [OPTIONAL] - additional ranges and their associated criteria
Examples
=MAXIFS(D5:D16,C5:C16,"F")The MAXIFS function can be used to find the maximum value in a range of cells, when one or more criteria are true. For example, this returns the maximum value in the range D5:D16 where the corresponding cells in C5:C16 are equal to "F" (93).
=MAXIFS(D5:D16,C5:C16,"M")The MAXIFS function can also be used to find the maximum value in a range of cells when the criteria is a string. For example, this returns the maximum value in the range D5:D16 where the corresponding cells in C5:C16 are equal to "M" (83).
=MAXIFS(A1:A100,B1:B100,">50")The MAXIFS function can also be used to find the maximum value in a range of cells when the criteria is a comparison operator. For example, this returns the maximum value in the range A1:A100 when the corresponding cells in B1:B100 are greater than or equal to 50.
