Aggregate Function

[Tikey]

From a previous post I have been using the function at the bottom of the post. I now wish to use the aggregate function again to find the Max value from a different range of cells but still based on only those records that are in a particular year. I have tried modifying the function as below to achieve this but get a #value error.

=AGGREGATE(4,6,Records!$I:$I/(YEAR(Records!$F:$F)=1994),1)

Can anyone help please ?

=AGGREGATE(15,6,Records!$F:$F/(YEAR(Records!$F:$F)=1994),1)

Hi there, why did you change the first argument to 15? The number 4 there that you have as the first argument in the first formula you posted let's the function know that it is looking for the maximum value in that range. By changing it to 15, you made the formula let the function know that it is looking for the smallest value in that range. I'm not sure why this change would cause an error as I don't have the data you are looking at, but that is something I noticed looking at your formulas.

The formula
=AGGREGATE(15,6,Records!$F:$F/(YEAR(Records!$F:$F)=1994),1) should work OK.

The formula
=AGGREGATE(15,6,Records!$F:$F/(YEAR(Records!$F:$F)=1994),1) should work OK.

I apologise, my original post was confusing. The formula I am currently using =AGGREGATE(15,6,Records!$F:$F/(YEAR(Records!$F:$F)=1994),1) works great to find the earliest date in a range of cells that are in 1994.
I have tried to modify that to find the max value in a different range of cells that are linked to the original date cells.
=AGGREGATE(4,6,Records!$I:$I/(YEAR(Records!$F:$F)=1994),1) This is trying to find the max value from cells in column I that are in the same row as those in column F that are in 1994. These columns are dynamic and can have data added to and removed from them.

Hope this is a bit clearer.

Since 4 in aggregate is MAX try dropping the 1 at the end of your formula.
AGGREGATE(4,6,Records!$I:$I/(YEAR(Records!$F:$F)=1994))
or try
AGGREGATE(14,6,Records!$I:$I/(YEAR(Records!$F:$F)=1994),1)
14 being LARGE.

I'd got focused on using MAX, using Large worked fine. Thank you.
