    Finding the median

    Well I know how to find the median for a list of numbers using =median()

    But what if I have a list of prices for different types of say cars.


    Car Type Price

    A $10000
    B $15000
    A $20000
    C $30000


    Is there a macro that will return


    Car Type Median
    A $
    B $
    C $

    Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

    Re: Finding the median

    Hi Pickslides, try the array formula:

    =MEDIAN(IF(A1:A4="A",B1:B4))

    Where A1:A4 have your car types, and B1:B4 your values. You could use the static value "A" as the car type, or refer to a cell that has the A in it, too.

    As with all array formulas, you must press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER after typing or editing the formula, not just ENTER.

    Thanks Paul

    Great solution.

    I am really enjoying these array formulas of late.
