MIN / MAX for specific value from other column

T

Theuns

I tried before, and thanks Peo Sjoblom, but I still do not get what I need

The data I work with starts in Row7 of all Columns, Row1:6 is for Info etc

In Column (C7:C156), I have Registration numbers of vehicles as they fill up each day.
They are NOT sorted (non-alphabetical). They are listed as the days go by for the month. (For daily records

In Column (D7:D156), I have the odometer(speedo) readings of the vehicles (opposite the Reg. No. in column C.)

In Column AB (AB7:AB73), I have all of the companies vehicle Reg. No's, whether they used fuel or not during the month, sorted in alphanumeric order.

What I now need, is to get the (MIN) speedo reading for each specific Reg. No.(vehicle), and the (MAX) for the same Reg. No. in the AF & AG COLUMNS.

Thus, AF7 will look up the Reg. No. in AB7, and then scroll through C7:C156 to find all entries for that specific Reg. No. , then look in D7:D156 for the kilos and write the MIN kilos in Column AF7.
Same for MAX.
NOTE: sometimes there is no value in some rows of D7:D156 (thus zero kilometers)

MIN & MAX formulas by themselves do not do the trick, maybe I have to nest formulas somehow, I would appreciate it if someone could help

A complete answer would involve coding a user defined
function, and while relatively simple, may be confusing.

Have a look at DMIN and DMAX and see if they can work for
you, as they may do what you need. Otherwise, email me
and I will give you a hand to do the UDF, or re post and
someone here will give you a start.

One way:

In AF7 enter this array formula:

=MIN(IF(($C$7:$C$156=AB7)*($D$7:$D$156<>""),$D$7:$D$156))

The formula must be array entered, i.e. with <Shift><Ctrl><Enter>
instead of just <Enter>, also if edited later.

In AG7 enter this array formula:

=MAX(($C$7:$C$156=AB7)*$D$7:$D$156)

also array entered.

Select AF7:AG7 and copy the selection down with the fill handle
(the little square in the lower right corner of the selection.

I'm not sure, what you mean by:
NOTE: sometimes there is no value in some rows of D7:D156 (thus zero
kilometers)

If you want the MIN to count as zero kilometers in
these instances change the MIN formula to:

=MIN(($C$7:$C$156=AB7)*$D$7:$D$156)

Still array entered.
