What Formula to use?

[Paul Chung]

Hello everyone, I'm trying to figure out how to have excell show me a number
based on the value of another cell. Here is the cell info:
1 1.0 0.999 0.99900 MAX 1.00067
2 2.0 2.000 1.00000 MIN 0.99900
3 3.0 3.002 1.00067
4 4.0 4.000 1.00000
5 5.0 5.002 1.00040
6 6.0 6.004 1.00067
7 7.0 7.001 1.00014
8 8.0 8.000 1.00000
9 9.0 8.998 0.99978


I need to show that the Min and Max values is equal to the value in the
first colum. However the valus if identical woul alwys go to the highest
number. So Min is equal to 1 and then Max would default to 6 instead of 3 .
Any help would be great.Thanks...Paul

Unclear! What is the meaning of THEN in "So Min is equal to 1 and then Max
would default to 6 instead of 3"

If you just want to know that the largest A value for the Max in D, then I
think we need to use VBA
Is this what is needed?
best wishes

Hi,

I'm not sure how you came up with a result of 6 since the max is 6.004 based
on the data you gave us, and the min is 0.999 not 1?

However, based on the general idea:

=MAX(A1:A9*(MAX(B1:B9)=B1:B9))
=MAX(A1:A9*(MIN(B1:B9)=B1:B9))

Both of these formulas are Array Entered - that means you press
Shift+Ctrl+Enter to enter them not Enter.

Cell C divided by B gives value D. I used the Min And Max for A1 through
A9. Now I need a Cell to convert the given number to a value from Colum A
as 1 through 9. Sorry if I didn't pass this on......Paul

MIN and MAX are the values from Cells D1-D9. I need to show the value that
is in Cells A1-A9. However note that the Max could be either 3 or 6 in the
example so we nee a rule to make sure it goes to the highest such as 6 in
the example....Paul

Its not clear which data is in which column. It is not clear what formulas
are in columns A, B, C. The explanation below is still not clear. How did
you use Min and Max in A1:A9? Please show us the formula(s).

Clarity is the key to getting fast, accurate answers here at the newsgroup.

Bob, You are correct. I'll try to make it clearer. What I'm trying to do is
show the value of another cell but run into two problems in trying to
accomplish this. Let's start from the beginning. Column A is my Dial 0
through 9. Column B is my value assigned Nominal. Column C is the values I
read when testing my switch. Column D is =SUM(C/B) values. First, I need to
get my the MIN and MAX formula to show the values so I create F and use the
formula's: =MAX(D715) and =MIN(D715). However, if the values are the
same in Column D, I need to show the cell with the higher of the two numbers
that's the first problem.
The next problem would have me show the values in Column F as a number
associated to my switch setting in Column A. So for example my MAX in F of
1.00067 could be switch setting 3 or 6 in column A. I want to show the
higher number, and place that value in the cell next to it. I hope this
gets my point across better and thanks again for any assistance you and
Bernard can provide....Paul
