Hi,

Please can somebody help?​
The purpose is to get the Max of column C for each AssetID(column B) and then return whether it’s a Cross Arm or Pole but I’d need to returnall values for Poles and Cross Arm if the highest occurs more than once per AssetID.

So just for the below example, the Max is
4.20825744623599 which is true for both the L Pole and R Pole. How would I write the formula around my MAXIF so that it returns 'L Pole, R Pole'?​

I do have a spreadsheet I can attach but can't see a way of attaching it.

Hi Sandy - sorry wouldn't know what to do with this code and I would need to show formula for my workings as this is compared with the SQL script so would be gratefully if anyone can send the formula which treats those with blank cells too.

Hi, I am sure this can be modified be shorter but this should work with NULL:

to use your range in G2 and copying it down:

Code: 
=TEXTJOIN(", ",1,IF(MAX(IF($C$2:$C$31884="NULL",10000,$C$2:$C$31884)*($B$2:$B$31884=F2)),IF((IF($C$2:$C$31884="NULL",10000,$C$2:$C$31884)*($B$2:$B$31884=F2))=MAX(IF($C$2:$C$31884="NULL",10000,$C$2:$C$31884)*($B$2:$B$31884=F2)),$D$2:$D$31884,""),""))

Confirm with Ctrl+Shift+Enter as this is an array formula not just Enter.

A little more robust formula to handle any non-numerical value be it NULL or BLANK:

Code: 
=TEXTJOIN(", ",1,IF(MAX(IF(ISNUMBER($C$2:$C$31884),$C$2:$C$31884,10000)*($B$2:$B$31884=F2)),IF((IF(ISNUMBER($C$2:$C$31884),$C$2:$C$31884,10000)*($B$2:$B$31884=F2))=MAX(IF(ISNUMBER($C$2:$C$31884),$C$2:$C$31884,10000)*($B$2:$B$31884=F2)),$D$2:$D$31884,""),""))

Hi Eric,

Thank you so much - I tried to use the formula for a much larger dataset but failed. I've got just over 31,000 rows so I tweaked C2:C4 and D2:D4 to extend accordingly but didn't work.
Click to expand...

With more than 31,000 records and using array formulas on your sheet, your computer's performance may decrease.

Try the following macro. The result will be in columns F and G


Code: 
Sub [COLOR=#0000ff]DAM_AssetUnique[/COLOR]()
  Dim c As Range, wmax As Double, r As Range, f As Range
  Dim cell As String, ky As Variant, dict As Object
  
  Set r = Range("B2", Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp))
  Set dict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
  
  With dict
    For Each c In r
      If Not dict.Exists(c.Value) Then
        .Add Key:=c.Value, Item:=""
      End If
    Next
    For Each ky In .Keys
      wmax = Evaluate("=sum(max((" & r.Address & "=""" & ky & """)*(" & r.Offset(, 1).Address & ")))")
      Set f = r.Find(ky, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
      If Not f Is Nothing Then
          cell = f.Address
          Do
              If f.Offset(, 1).Value = wmax Then
                dict(ky) = dict(ky) & ", " & f.Offset(0, 2)
              End If
              Set f = r.FindNext(f)
          Loop While Not f Is Nothing And f.Address <> cell
      End If
      dict(ky) = Mid(dict(ky), 3)
    Next
    Range("F2:G" & Rows.Count).ClearContents
    Range("F2").Resize(.Count) = Application.Transpose(.Keys)
    Range("G2").Resize(.Count) = Application.Transpose(.Items)
  End With
End Sub

HOW TO INSTALL MACROs
------------------------------------
If you are new to macros, they are easy to install and use. To install it, simply press ALT+F11 to go into the VB editor and, once there, click Insert/Module on its menu bar, then copy/paste the above code into the code window that just opened up. That's it.... you are done. To use the macro, go back to the worksheet with your data on it and press ALT+F8, select the macro name (DAM_AssetUnique) from the list that appears and click the Run button. The macro will execute and perform the action(s) you asked for. If you will need to do this again in this same workbook, and if you are using XL2007 or above, make sure you save your file as an "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm) and answer the "do you want to enable macros" question as "Yes" or "OK" (depending on the button label for your version of Excel) the next time you open your workbook.

Hi all,

Thanks very much for all the input.

I'm not allowed to use Macros in this instance so I have used Aryatect's formula which works a treat!
