if combined with index/match (I think)

Hello - it's a while since my last question, but I'm totally stuck on this one.

I have a sales database which includes multiple columns and my basic quest is to have a formula that establishes if a product has had sales in the latest week so a linked table can say listed/delisted.

The latest week is established using a max formula in cell AN2.

Using the columns/list in the database I would like a formula that says If product numberX (column A) has sales (Column E) if that week(column L) matches the max week (cell AN2), then it is "listed", else its "delisted".

The converse explanation is that if the product doesn't have sales in the latest week its delisted.

I've tried various formulas but can't get it to work so suggestions for the right formula would be amazing.

thanks for any help.

Whilst i sort of get what you are after why is it that no sales in the last week means a product is delisted? Surely it may have just had a slow week or maybe was temp out of stock? Anyhow depending on how you wanted to go you could use SUMIFS or MAXIFS to see if a product had sales in any particular week.

The maxifs option sorted it in a much simpler way than I was originally going. Thank you
