    MEDIAN IF problem

    I'm having a problem with the MEDIAN IF formula in the attached.

    As far as I can see, the formula in E2 should be calculating the median from the numbers in C2:C4. That's because ID1 = 16 and ID2 = 1.

    In fact, it seems to be calculating the lowest number.

    Can anyone help please?

    Thanks, Tom

    ...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.

    Silly question, is there a knack to the CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER entry? I'm keying it, but nothing is happening.

    You commit the formula from edit mode.
