I have a list of nodes (List B in col A) and corresponding temperature in Col B. List B in Col D is a subset of list A. In cell E2, I used the Index+Match formula to find the corresponding temperature. The formula is =INDEX($B$2:$B$6,MATCH(D2,$A$2:$A$6,0)). I copied this formula down to cells E3 and E4. Cell F2 is the max of values in Col E.​

[TD]What I want to do: I want to find the same max value in cell F2 without doing the step of Col E, i.e., use only one equation that will match the nodes in Col D with that of Col A and find the corresponding temp from Col B when match and then find the max of those matches. I am using MS Office 2013. Also, I want to avoid VBA. Can I do this in one step?

Why I want to do this: Above example shows a few nodal temperature of a particular structure for a particular environmental condition. I have 21 structure each of which has thousands of nodes. Also, I have 41 environmental conditions. If I do the method as shown above then I will end up with a big database. But if can skip the step done in Col D, then it will be a very small database.

Welcome to the forum.

Try:

=MAX(IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A4:A8,D4:D6,0)),B4:B8))

confirmed with Control+Shift+Enter, not just enter.


Edit:

This works without the Control+Shift+Enter:

=AGGREGATE(14,6,SIGN(MATCH(A4:A8,D4:D6,0))*B4:B8,1)
