Hi. Need help please.
  • I have a set of 100,000 CO2 readings, taken every 15 minutes from classrooms in a school.
  • I am interested in the reading once it goes over 650 ( identified by the green in the attached extract )
  • I need to identify the PEAK value WHILE it is WITHIN the 650 zone.
  • There are a number of sub-peaks within the zone ( 5 in the extract I attached )
  • So, I need a formula that knows its within the 650 zone and identifies the peak of the peaks and then resets when it leaves the 650 zone !

THANK YOU.

Burkie.

Why is 915 a peak when the next entry is 920?

It looks like you just need to check if the cell value is higher than the one above and below it, and that it is also over 650.

Sorry. my mistake ( my head is frazzled from trying to find a formula for this ! ). It should be the 920.

I dont think checking one cell back and one c3ell forward will sort it as the previous ' peak ' might be 4 cells back.

You've said you want the peaks when the CO2 (ppm?) is over 650, so do you mean within the OVER 650 zone?

I can't tell your columns from your graphic, but let's say your temp readings are in column H, why wouldn't a simple formula like this work?

Excel Formula: 
=IF(AND(H5>H4,H5>H6,H5>650),H5,"")

One other thing, when you post an image of your data instead of something that can be copied and pasted into a spreadsheet, it is difficult for others to experiment with it. Which means your chances of getting help drop significantly. Instead, use the free XL2BB tool (link below) to post your data in a way that makes it accessible to others.

Thanks for the replies. I will extract some of the data into a mini file and add it here soon.
I think its not just about looking one cell behind and one cell in front. It needs to remember the peak from 4 or 7 or 8 cells back and compare it.
( Yes, it needs to know its within the OVER 650 zone. Once it goes out of that mini zone, it needs to reset until it goes into the next OVER 650 Zone ).
THANKS.

Ah, I thought you were trying to calculate those intermediate peak values.

I think you'll want to use something like a LOOKUP to find the last cell above the current one that is <650 and a MATCH to find the first one below that is less than 650, then get the MAX value in between. Easier if we can see where the actual data is.

If the sample data file shows a mockup for the desired identified peaks - something that can be used to test any proposed formula, that would be helpful. You seem to be looking for a formula based solution, but something to keep in mind is that a VBA solution could be an alternative if the formula approach does not work out.

Maybe something like this?
Checking if you are on the max value 3 cell back and 3 cell forward.
It would need some error handling for the first 3 rows. If this is what you need we could look into it.
