    Try

    e.g.

    =MAX(IF(A1:A10=110,B1:B10))

    confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER not just ENTER
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    rclose,

    You can even try a NON CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER if you want...

    PHP Code: 
    =SUMPRODUCT(MAX(($A$2:$A$9=C2)*(B2:B9)))

    where C2=110

    Re: formula for max of one column based on criteria of another column

    Just for educational purpose I tried to use MIN instead of MAX but it doesn't work..
    I fail to understand the discrimination as MAX and MIN to me seemed to be two sides of the same coin.. ?????

    Kindly delete this post as double posting due to slow net speed

    I think the Boolean zeroes get mixed up with the MINS logic...

    Being a Hardcore Sumproduct fan I tried getting the MIN value using the LARGE funtion in a different manner...ANTI-USE of LARGE.

    PHP Code: 
    =SUMPRODUCT(LARGE((($A$2:$A$9=C2)*($B$2:$B$9)),COUNTIF($A$2:$A$9,C2)))

    where C2=110 

    Hope this helps..!!!

    Warm Regards
