Conditional Max

[RicardoB]

I have 2 columns: A with value and B with text. I need to have the maximum value based on one condition (that meets the column B). In other words, it is similar to SUMIF, but it would be a MAXIF (unfortunately, I didn´t find this function).
It would be great to have a max based on two conditions too....
Regards,

What is the condition?

OK.

Consider

{2,"a";3,"a";2,"b";6,"a";8,"b";9,"b";3,"c"}

in A2:B8.

=SUMPRODUCT(MAX((B2:B8="a")*(A2:A8)))

will give you the MAX of the values that are associated with an "a" in B2:B8.
