Getting a satistical range

Is there a way to find a range (lowest and highest numbers in a group) when the cells are not adjacent? I've tried working with a formula using RANGE, but it keeps coming up with #VALUE.

Can it be done?

Cheers,

Dee

RE: Getting a satistical range

Hi Dee,


Thank you for your question regarding highest & lowest numbers in a range of data that are non-adjacent.

The functions you would be looking to use would be the 'Min' or 'Max' function.

...so, for example, if you have data in the range A1:A10 and another set of data in the range D1:D10 and now from within these two ranges you want to find the highest value, the formula you would need to create would look something like:

=max(A1:A10,D1:D10) this would present the highest value.

Replace the 'Max' function with 'Min' to determine the lowest value.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.


If you require any further assistance, please reply to this post.


Have a lovely weekend.

Regards,

Excel tip:

Seeing named ranges as part of the zoom

If you have large areas of named ranges this works better.

If you zoom down to 39% you will see your named range.
