I'm trying to figure out how to use the Max function in Excel, but with specific criteria. Like, if I have a list of numbers in one column and corresponding categories in another, how can I find the maximum number for a particular category?

Specifically, we want to find the maximum value in range C2:C9 where the corresponding value in range A2:A9 matches the criterion in cell D2. To do this, we set the 'criteria_range' as A2:A9 and the 'criteria' as the value in D2.

We then specify the 'max_range' as C2:C9, which is the range where we want to find the maximum value based on the matching criteria.

To find the maximum value corresponding to a specific criterion in Excel, start by selecting cell C10. This cell will hold the result of our formula.

To enter the formula correctly, we use the array formula syntax by enclosing the MAX and IF functions within curly braces {=MAX(IF(A2:A9=D2,C2:C9))}. However, note that in modern versions of Excel, you can simply press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to enter the formula as an array formula without manually typing the curly braces.

Next, we will enter a formula utilizing the MAX and IF functions. The MAX function returns the largest value in a range, while the IF function checks if a condition is met and returns a value based on that.
