    Filter common criteria from 2 columns & filter large of filtered values from 3rd column

    Hi,

    My title may not explain my need in detail. please refer attachment.

    For ex: Filter "A" from header 2, we have 2 "IND", 1 "AUS" and 1 "NJU" in Header 3, then find out large of similar criteria of Header 3 in Header 4.

    we have 12 & 23 against IND, so pull 23 against IND and leave the other, we have only one AUS and one NJU so pull them as it is.

    Hope this is clear.

    Thanks
    Shree

    Hi,

    Have you considered either an Advanced Data Filter and specify a criteria range which holds your selection criteria. Or personally, my preferred method would be a Pivot Table.

    This applies to cell D26 of your attached worksheet. Paste and drag down, without filters applied:

    It first checks if cell B26 is equal to any cell within B3:B22, as well as if C26 is equal to any cell within C3:C22. If it is, is takes the corresponding cell location from D3:D22, but only if it is the MAX value out of the solutions provided.

    Re: Filter common criteria from 2 columns & filter large of filtered values from 3rd colum

    Use this formula for correct results

    =MAX(IF(B26&C26=$B$3:$B$22&$C$3:$C$22,$D$3:$D$22))

    ...confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

    Please see compared results from two formula
