Vlookup for Max / Min / Average Value in Range

[Metcalfe]

Good morning, I would like to request help with a lookup formula.

I want to find the minimum, maximum and average value from column F for the range between columns O and P which refer to values in column A. Column A is ascending.

Thanks for any help, I hope I have explained that well enough.

Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one.

1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

Hi, thanks I have now attached a sample sheet.

=MIN(IF($F$3:$F$35>$O3,IF($F$3:$F$35<$P3,$F$3:$F$35)))
=MAX(IF($F$3:$F$35>$O3,IF($F$3:$F$35<$P3,$F$3:$F$35)))
=AVERAGE(IF($F$3:$F$35>$O3,IF($F$3:$F$35<$P3,$F$3:$F$35)))


These are array formulae.

Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER.

You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...

On the sheet, I have modified them slightly to remove 0s and error messages...

Like this for the Min/max:

=IFERROR(1/(1/MIN(IF($F$3:$F$35>$O3,IF($F$3:$F$35<$P3,$F$3:$F$35)))),"")

and like this for the averge

=IFERROR(AVERAGE(IF($F$3:$F$35>$O3,IF($F$3:$F$35<$P3,$F$3:$F$35))),"")

Thankyou Glenn, that's great!
