Hi and thank you for all help in advance,

I have a csv. file that I download and it gives me the data like this (not real data):

A B C D
[TABLE="width: 399"]
<colgroup><col><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]CallDate[/TD]

If possible, I would like a couple of Formulas which will give me the following:

[TABLE="width: 468"]
<colgroup><col><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[TD]C[/TD]
[TD]D[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Number[/TD]
[TD]Longest Call [/TD]
[TD]Longest Caller Number[/TD]
[TD]Longest Call Date[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: right"]01888888888[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]00:00:00
[/TD]
[TD]XXXXX XXX XXX[/TD]
[TD]XX/XX/XX
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
01999999999

For the 'Longest Call' I have tried using the following formula: {=MAX(IF(criteria_range=criteria,value_range))} but it has been giving me '00:00:00' even when there is data.

In summary, I would like a formula for extracting the longest call, longest call number and the date the call was done.

Again thank you for all help.
 

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
Welcome to the MrExcel board!

I suspect that you problems might be stemming from data that appears to be numerical but is actually text. Do some investigation with, for example, =ISNUMBER(D2)
Same for column A.

Otherwise, if column D is numerical, your formula works for me, though I have given an alternative in column E that doesn't require the array formula entry.

Calls



One other note:
It would theoretically be possible for a given number in column A in the lower section to have more than one row at the top with equal longest call duration. That would mean more than one possible value for columns C & D for that value.
These formulas will only return one value. Do you need to allow for this possibility & if so, how would you want the multiple results presented?

What version of Excel are you using?

With PowerQuery aka Get&Transform

Code:
[SIZE=1]let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(Source, {"DialledNumber"}, {{"Count", each _, type table}, {"Max", each List.Max([CallDuration]), type number}}),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Grouped Rows",{{"Max", type time}}),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Changed Type",{"Count"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"[/SIZE]
and
Code:
[SIZE=1]let
    Source = Table.NestedJoin(Table1,{"Max"},#"Table1 (2)",{"CallDuration"},"Table1",JoinKind.LeftOuter),
    #"Expanded Table1" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Source, "Table1", {"CallDate", "CallingNumber"}, {"CallDate", "CallingNumber"}),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Table1",{{"CallDate", type datetime}})
in
    #"Changed Type"[/SIZE]

This has helped me immensely! Thank you so much for the time you spent. I cannot express how grateful I am.

As a first experience of using this website, I will not be able to recommend you enough to all.

Thanks again.
