Formula for finding a range

[adamuce]

Hi,

Hope everyone is well. I hope someone can share a formula where within a range I can find the highest and smallest magnitude. An example is provided and the desired results are in the yellow shaded area



Thanks in advance

Have a look at MINIFS and MAXIFS. e.g.

=MINIFS(B1:B8,B1:B8,"<"&0) (biggest decline)

Thanks will have a look. Also prompted me to change the image example and include cell references

Let us know.

Another emergent approach would be to use GROUPBY

= LET(
      group, IFS(changes > 0, "Increase", changes < 0, "Decline", TRUE, ""),
      GROUPBY(group, ABS(changes), VSTACK(MAX, MIN), , 0, -1, changes)
  )

An alternative layout would be achieved using HSTACK(MAX, MIN).

GROUPBY is still only available to Office Insiders, I believe.

True. In many instances the GROUPBY and PIVOTBY functions will allow the concept of pivot tables to be replaced by standard Excel functions that do not require the use of refresh, provided calculation is not set to manual. My interest in this particular case was that it required the zero values to be filtered out to prevent them appearing in the calculated results. I had never used the filter within GROUPBY so this provided an opportunity. Here 'changes' as the final parameter acts as a Boolean filter.
