Question

I want to get max and min values with other column’s values in ms excel 2007. I have two columns

| Column A | Column B |
-----------------------
|A         |   18     |
-----------------------
|B         |   78     |
-----------------------
|c         |   9      |

I want to print out max values and min values of “Column B” with “Column A” values. Please suggest me some formula.

Answer 1

The following formula will find the max value in column B, and return the value from column A that is in the same row:

=INDEX(A:A,(MATCH(MAX(B:B),B:B,0)))

In your example, the result would be “B”.

Note that if the max value occurs in column B more than once, only the first one will be processed with this formula.

For minimum, just substitute MIN in place of MAX.
