Hello Everyone,

I am working with a large data set and and have a formula for generating a list (starting in D14) based on the highest value of Backlog $ within the set parameters starting in G14. The issue is that the parameters, largely the signs (<,>,<=,>=), are part of the formula, ie. {=IFERROR(LARGE(IF($B$3:$B$9>$I$14,IF($D$3:$D$9<=$I$16,IF($C$3:$C$9>=$I$15,$C$3:$C$3))),ROW(A1)),"-")}
I am hoping there is a way to have the signs in the formula to be replaced by cell references (H16,H17,& H18) so that any sign can be selected to adjust the desired output. Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

It's possible to achieve this, but with a large data set the performance of the spreadsheet would be poor. I think a macro is the proper solution.

Using formulas - something like

Ctrl+Shift+Enter

Then you can use VLOOKUP to get the Creation Date and % Complete of each project.
