Hi, I am have a hard time coming up with a solution for my problem and I'm hoping someone here can guide me.

I have a dataset structured like that:

ProductPackYearTotal
iPhone 6Box201610
iPhone 6Box201713
iPhone 7Box201711
iPhone 7No Box201811
iPhone 8No Box20209
iPhone 8No Box202112
iPhone 9Box20196

I want to add a 5thcolumn that with the following output

ProductPackYearTotalCheck
iPhone 6Box20152
iPhone 6Box201610
iPhone 6Box201713Hold
iPhone 7Box201711
iPhone 7No Box201811
iPhone 8No Box20209
iPhone 8No Box202112
iPhone 9Box20196

Explaining:
  1. Lines 2, 3, and 4 - If I have the same product AND same package, then I want to check if any of the OLDEST products is greater than or equals 10. If it is, then I want to hold the most recent product
    1. iPhone 6 2015 is the most recent product? NO. iPhone 6 2015 has a total of 10 or higher? NO. I don't care.
    2. iPhone 6 2016 is the most recent product? NO. iPhone 6 2016 has a total of 10 or higher? YES. Check Next.
    3. iPhone 6 2017 is the most recent product? YES. iPhone 6 of the older vintages has a total of 10 of higher? YES. iPhone 6 2016 has a total of 10. Then HOLD IT.
  2. Lines 5 and 6 - If I have the same product, but different package, I don't care.
  3. Lines 7 and 8 - If I have the same product AND same package, but none of the oldest ones are 10 or higher in the total column, I also don't care.
    1. iPhone 8 2020 is the most resent product? NO. iPhone 8 2020 has a total of 10 or higher? NO. I don't care, skip product.
  4. Line 9 - If there's no duplicate, I also don't care.

Is there a way to do that with Excel formulas?

TY!
 

Excel Facts

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
3. Lines 7 and 8 - If I have the same product AND same package, but none of the oldest ones are 10 or higher in the total column, I also don't care.
  1. iPhone 8 2020 is the most resent product? NO. iPhone 8 2020 has a total of 10 or higher? NO. I don't care, skip product.
But iPhone 8 2021 is a more recent product and has more than 10. What is the rule?

But iPhone 8 2021 is a more recent product and has more than 10. What is the rule?
IF Count(Product & Package) > 1 AND IF MIN(Year for that Product & Package) > Total 10 THEN MAX(Year for that Product & Package) = Hold

For iPhone 8 I have --> Count(Product & Package) > 1 (TRUE) AND MIN(Year for that Product & Package = 2020) > Total 10 (FALSE, Total is 9) THEN nothing

Ok. Now I get it. One last question. What if older model (with the same package) has more than 10 but the most recent is 9?
