    Need help with a formula that detects highest number in a col based on 2 matching criteria

    Hi Guys,

    I recently used a formula that worked well but breaks for unknown reasons. I was hoping that someone can tell me why it is breaking and also a solution to fix the formula so that it will not break again. Please let me know if any additional information is needed.

    This is the information I am working with and the expected results in Column D:

    A B C D (does not exist yet - this is where the formula is inserted)
    1 Apples Iris 234 NO
    2 Apples Iris 235 NO
    3 Apples Iris 236 YES

    Formula used in Column D:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Goal: I am trying to get Column D to display YES for the rows matching the critieria specified that contain the highest number in column C (I have other rows with varying other info for A, B, and C columns)

    Problem: Column D is showing as all NO even though clearly C3 is the highest number. When I change any of the numbers in column C to higher than 999, the corresponding D column of that row suddenly becomes YES.

    Thanks in advance for your help!
