Hi guys, I used this formula before and that I had to make some changes, it stopped functioning the way it supposed to


16k9j5e.png


in I7, this is the formula
Code:
IF(A7="","",INDEX(C$1:H$1,MATCH(MAX(IF(C7:H7<>"",C$15:H$15-C$5:H$5/1000)),IF(C7:H7<>"",C$15:H$15-C$5:H$5/1000),0)))

The formula is supposed to index "X' and find the name of the product that has highest score (row15) and smallest LD50 (row5)
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
There are ties, so the algorithm fails.

If you could provide sample data (together with expected outcomes) that we can copy-paste, we can conduct experiments. No one wants to type all that in.

</style>DRSteele, thanks for your response.

I converted the table to html format online. I didn't come out perfect, but it can be copied into Excel

How 'bout the expected outcomes? There are ties in your data - how will those be treated?

My bad, I forgot about the expected outcomes
So for example there are 2 products made on CAM (marked "x"). The product with the highest score should be the outcome (Percepta®50mg Tablets).
However, if both products Percepta®50mg Tablets and Pravia® CR 200mg Tablets had a score of 100, then the outcome should be Pravia® CR 200mg Tablets because it the a smallest LD50
So the rule is, highest score and smallest LD50

This is is the formula I used
Code:
IF(A7="","",INDEX(C$1:H$1,MATCH(MAX(IF(C7:H7<>"",C$15:H$15-C$5:H$5/1000)),IF(C7:H7<>"",C$15:H$15-C$5:H$5/1000),0)))

Row 7 has identical data. 100 and 243.

Hi DRSteele, just wanted to let you know that I figured out what was the problem. Some data was entered inconsistently (not consistent with other data).
I did that and now everything is perfect.

Thank you.
