    Formula to return the highest number in a column based on a matching second column

    In the attached file I want a formula in the highlighted cell that will return the maximum from the Reschedule column based on the match in the Tracking Ref#.

    This needs to work no matter the sort applied to the table.

    Try MAXIFS:

    =MAXIFS(Table1[Reschedule '#],Table1[Tracking Ref'#],I2)

    Only have Excel 2013 in this instance.

    Not a problem:

    =MAX(IF(Table1[Tracking Ref'#]=I2,Table1[Reschedule '#]))

    ... confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer.

    Hi ( Ciao AliGW!)

    MAX

    =AGGREGATE(14,6,Table1[Reschedule '#]/(Table1[Tracking Ref'#]=I2),1)

    Hope that helps

    MIN:

    =AGGREGATE(15,6,Table1[Reschedule '#]/(Table1[Tracking Ref'#]=I2),1)
