I'm trying to use an Array formula to return all values from a field for a given customer's name and then use something (I thought probably either MAX or MIN) to sort through them to get the correct one.

The formula is currently {=MAX(IF(A3='Sheet 2'!AH:AH,'Sheet 2'!G:G,""))} where A is my customer name, AH is the customer name on the other sheet and G is the field I want returned.

When I evaluate the formula for a customer I know only occurs once, as expected it returns a list of values most of which are blank and one of which is populated. When I then evaluate the MAX function it returns a 0. My assumption would be that the max between a populated value and a blank would be the populated value but clearly not.

Can anyone tell me please what function to use to pull my populated value out of my list of mostly blanks?
