MAXIFS function

PRO

The MAXIFS function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a handy tool that allows you to find the highest value within a specific group of cells, given that certain conditions are met. It does this by scanning through the selected range of cells and then returning the maximum number that fulfills all the set criteria. This is particularly useful when you need to find the highest value in a dataset, but only under specific conditions. For instance, you can use MAXIFS to find the highest sales figure for a specific product in a particular region.

Documentation

Returns the largest number in a range of cells that meets multiple criteria.

Syntax

MAXIFS(range, criteria_range1, criteria1, [criteria_range2, criteria2], ...)

Parameter	Description
`range`	The range of cells from which you want to find the largest value that meets the specified criteria.
`criteria_range1`	The first range of cells that you want to apply a criterion to. This can be the same as the 'range' argument.
`criteria1`	The criterion that you want to apply to the 'criteria_range1'.
`criteria_rangeN`	Optional. Additional ranges of cells that you want to apply criteria to.
`criteriaN`	Optional. The criterion that you want to apply to the nth. You can include multiple criteria ranges and criteria pairs as needed.

Behavior

The MAXIFS function is used to find the maximum value among cells specified by a given set of conditions or criteria.

Empty cells: If the criteria or max_range contains empty cells, MAXIFS will ignore these cells and will not consider them in the calculation.
Text: Text values in the range being evaluated are ignored. Text strings can be used in criteria (e.g., "apples").
Booleans: Booleans in the evaluation range are ignored, but they can be used as criteria.
Errors: If any cell in the criteria or max_range contains an error, MAXIFS will return an error. If the criteria is an error, all cells will fail the criteria.
Non-Numeric Values: Non-numeric values within the range to be evaluated are treated as zeros.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	This error is returned when the criteria is a text string that is not in quotation marks.
#N/A	This error is returned when no cells meet the criteria.

Best practices

Ensure all criteria are in quotation marks if they are text strings to prevent a #VALUE! error.

Handle errors properly within your data set to prevent the MAXIFS function from returning an error.

Avoid using non-numeric values within the range to be evaluated by MAXIFS as they are treated as zeros.

Be aware that MAXIFS will ignore empty cells and will not consider them in the calculation. Make sure this does not impact your expected results.

Usage

A few examples using the MAXIFS function.

MAXIFS(A1:A10, B1:B10, ">5") returns the largest number in the range A1:A10 that is greater than 5 in the corresponding cell in the range B1:B10  
MAXIFS(B1:B10, A1:A10, "apples", B1:B10, ">5") returns the largest number in the range B1:B10 that corresponds to cells in the range A1:A10 containing the text string "apples" and the corresponding cell in the range B1:B10 being greater than 5  
MAXIFS(A1:A10, A1:A10, "<>", B1:B10, "red") returns the largest number in the range A1:A10 that corresponds to cells in the range A1:A10 that are not blank and the corresponding cell in the range B1:B10 containing the text string "red".
