Hi,

Was hoping I could get some help with getting minif formula.

I was initially using below formula, on my laptop using office but doesn't seem to work on excel 16.

=MINIFS(Review!B:B,Review!F:F,"Urgent")
=minifs(Date,priority,”X”)

I'm using 2sheets.
Sheet 1 is like a dashboard, and sheet 2 contains data.

Formula is for two columns.
Column B is dates, Column text

The data I'm trying to pull in this is: if Column B is *urgent* the earliest date on column F is given.
 
Sort by date Sort by votes
Another option would be to use the AGGREGATE function which does not require the Ctrl+Shift+Enter confirmation.

Same 'Eggs' sheet as above

B7B7=COUNTIF(Eggs!$C$1:$C$14,"Urgent")
B8B8=AGGREGATE(15,6,Eggs!B1:B14/(Eggs!C1:C14="Urgent"),1)

Excel motto
Not everything I do at work revolves around Excel. Only the fun parts.
<table><tr><td style="height:12.75pt"></td><td style="vertical-align:middle">Eggs</td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;height:12.75pt">Total&#32;Routine</td><td class="fx" style="vertical-align:middle">=COUNTIF(Eggs!$C$1:$C$14,"Routine")</td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;height:12.75pt">Oldest&#32;date</td><td class="fx" style="vertical-align:middle">=AGGREGATE(15,6,Eggs!B1:B14/(Eggs!C1:C14="Routine"),1)</td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;height:12.75pt">Total&#32;Urgent&#32;</td><td class="fx" style="vertical-align:middle">=COUNTIF(Eggs!$C$1:$C$14,"Urgent")</td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;height:12.75pt">Oldest&#32;date</td><td class="fx" style="vertical-align:middle">=AGGREGATE(15,6,Eggs!B1:B14/(Eggs!C1:C14="Urgent"),1)</td></tr></table>

would it be possible if i added a 2nd criteria?

example =AGGREGATE(15,6,Eggs!B1:B14/(Eggs!C1:C14="Urgent"),1) +A1:A14!="Breakfast*")

The information it would pull out if the min date for Urgent for breakfast

You cannot show a table using HTML tags like that. Use XL2BB like you did before.

For two criteria you could use a structure like this

Excel Formula: 
=AGGREGATE(15,6,Eggs!B1:B14/((Eggs!C1:C14="Urgent")*(Eggs!A1:A14="Breakfast")),1)

this is great and works well.

wanted to know if there is additional to change / ammend.
If i wanted to there was a way to add part of text.

e.g on - =AGGREGATE(15,6,Eggs!B1:B14/((Eggs!C1:C14="Urgent")*(Eggs!A1:A14="Breakfast")),1)
Have breakfast*
as it only counts breakfast not breakfast menu from cell.

also noticed on
=AGGREGATE(15,6,And!B1:B14/(Eggs!C1:C14="Routine"),1)
why i tried to count full columns, it would just give me an error.

is there a way around this?

Not quite sure what you are saying here as your formula is referring to two different sheets and I don't know what is on 'And' sheet.
In any case I would strongly recommend not using whole column references. Asking Excel to process over a million cells in each column when I presume that you are using much less than that will just bog your sheet down. If you don';t want to be adjusting the formula ranges all the time, then just make the ranges big enough to cover any amount of data you are likely to have. For example, if you might have just a few hundred rows, then make the range, say, 3,000 rows. That is still a tiny fraction of one million and will calculate much faster.

Hi Peter,

appreciate your help this late.

I've made 3 sheets called, Eggs , And, Bacon for the purpose to extract date into the main dashboard.
When I use - =AGGREGATE(15,6,Eggs!B1:B14/((Eggs!C1:C14="Urgent")*(LEFT(Eggs!A1:A14,9)="Breakfast")),1)
it pulls data from Text on Column A exact as "Breakfast".

I tried to add Breakfast* so it's counted if its called "breakfast menu" etc.

is there a way around this
