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.

Excel tip:

Return to the active cell after scrolling

When I scroll a long way down the screen from a selected cell, I can return to that cell with the Ctrl+Back Space shortcut. The active cell now appears in roughly the middle of the screen.

Shift+Back Space does something similar. Scroll down from the active cell and Shift+Back Space returns me to it and puts the active cell at the top of the screen; scroll up from the active cell and Shift+Back Space returns me to it and puts the active cell at the bottom of the screen.

Note also, that while Ctrl+Back Space will return me back to a selected range, Shift+Back Space only ever returns me to the active cell, which is normally at the top left-hand corner of any selected range.
