    Maximum count at any given time

    Hi all,

    I appreciate all the help in advance. I can't seem to think of a way to work this one out so reaching out for some help.
    What I would like to know is how to work out the maximum amount of books a person has had borrowed at a given time.

    Example,
    Person A borrows a book

    Borrowed Date Return Date
    01/02/2018 08/02/2018
    05/02/2018 13/02/2018
    05/02/2018 15/02/2018
    07/02/2018 18/02/2018
    14/02/2018 20/02/2018


    So the result I am after is the maximum amount of books Person A has had on loan at a given time was 4.

    The data I have is;

    Unique Person ID, Name, Borrow Date, Return Date.

    Anyone got an idea on how I could achieve this result in a formula? I don't know of a solution. I could do it manually....but given there is a couple thousand lines of data it would be difficult and time consuming.

    It looks like you need a SUMPRODUCT (since you have Excel 2003 you do not have COUNTIFS) to look at the table and where the check out date is >= to check out dates for that person and the check in date is <= check in dates for that person.

    Include a sample workbook. We don't need thousands of lines of data but enough so it has several people some with overlapping checkouts and check ins.

    Attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.

    Helper column D is used in Before Sheet.
    In D2 then copied down.

    =SUMPRODUCT(($A2:$A$77=$A2)*($B2:$B$77< $C2)*($C2:$C$77> $B2))

    In Sheet After
    In A2

    =IFERROR(INDEX(Before!$A$2:$A$77,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW(Before!$A$2:$A$77)/(COUNTIF($A$1:$A1,Before!$A$2:$A$77)=0),1)-ROW($A$2)+1),"")

    In B2

    =AGGREGATE(14,6,(Before!$A$2:$A$77=$A2)*(Before!$D$2:$D$77),1)

    then copy down both.

    Hello jeex87,

    Little bit confuse when looking on your result in the sample file provided.

    Try this Array Formula** in B2, then copy down.

    =MAX(FREQUENCY(IF(Before!A$2:A$77=A2,Before!B$2:B$77),Before!B$2:B$77))

    ** 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.
    Regards,
    Haseeb Avarakkan
