Xlookup return maximum value
I want to do an xlookup where there are multiple matches and get excel to return the maximum value:
e.g. My lookup value is "cat". My lookup range is column A and I want excel to return the max value from column b for "cat":
Column A Column B
Cat 3
Dog 1
Cat 12
Cat 4
Have attached spreadsheet. I'm sure there's a simple solution for this!
Thanks!
Your profile must be out of date, as Excel 2010 did not have XLOOKUP, so please amend this in User CP.
Why do you have to use XLOOKUP anyway? Surely MAXIF or MAXIFS would be easier.
Hope this helps.

Cat 12 has an extra space. If you want to return the max value based on a lookup value, try this formula =MAX(IF($A$2:$A$5="Cat",$B$2:$B$5)) and enter with CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER keys.
I think you are probably using Office 365 - please update your forum profile accordingly. Thanks.
