Hello,

Can anyone show me how to write a formula that will find the MEDIAN of a group of numbers in one column related to specific criteria in another column? My business segment name data is located in column T and my days open numbers are located in column U. Below is the formula I've written thus far but I can't get it to work:

=MEDIAN(IF(QTR1_TA_TaleoData!$T$4:$T$170=QTR1_TA_TaleoData!$T$4:$T$170,"IOS",QTR1_TA_TaleoData!$U$4:$U$170))

Below is what I want the formula to do:

Look at the range $T$4:$T$170 on the QTR1_TA_TaleoData spreadsheet and find only those cells that contain a business segment name of IOS; once all the IOS business segment cells have been found, then tell me what the MEDIAN is for the numbers located in range $U$4:$U$170 on the QTR1_TA_TaleoData) spreadsheet for the IOS business segment.

Thank you.
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Maybe...

Array formula
=MEDIAN(IF(QTR1_TA_TaleoData!$T$4:$T$170="IOS",QTR1_TA_TaleoData!$U$4:$U$170))
Ctrl+Shift+Enter

Thank you very much Marcelo worked like a charm! The snag I kept running into was that it wouldn't work with a merged cell either but it's working now. Thanks!
