Need Help with Index and Match formula, for cricket database spreadsheet.

Hi guys,
I am working on a cricket database spreadsheet. and i am facing a problem with index and match formula. please see the attched image you will understand. Excelforum help.JPG


as you can see in the image. i am using =INDEX(J5:Y5,MATCH(F5,J5:Y5,0)-1) to get value of the left cell of maximum wickets. it works fine in most cases but where in multiple matches wickets are same and runs are value are diffrent then it grabs only the first value. i need it to grab the minimum runs value of the most wickets.

hope i explained the problem clearly.

i am using office 2007.
Thanks

Administrative Note:

We would very much like to help you with your query, however the thread title does not really convey what your request is about.

Please take a moment to amend your thread title. Make sure that the title properly explains your request. Your title should be explicit and not be generic (this includes function names used without an indication of what you are trying to achieve).

Please see Forum Rule #1 about proper thread titles and adjust accordingly. To edit the thread title, open the original post to edit and then click on Go Advanced (bottom right) to access the area where you can edit your title.

(Note: this change is not optional. No help to be offered until this moderation request has been fulfilled.)

Better - thanks.

Will you please attach a small sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.

1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment (it hasn't worked for years, and despite our repeatedly asking the technical team who own the forum to fix it, they can't be bothered to do so), so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

May be : in "D4"

"F4"

In D4:

=MIN(IF($J$3:$X$3=$J$3,IF($K4:$Y4=$F4,$J4:$X4)))

In F4:

=MAX(IF($K$3:$Y$3=$K$3,$K4:$Y4))

... both 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.

Drag copy down.

Thank you so Much. AliGW,
this worked perfectly fine for me. i been trying to use Min. but i guess i was doing it the wrong way. Thanks again.

No worries!

When expanding, take particular note of the ranges - it won't work if you get this wrong, relatively speaking.
