How to find the largest or smallest value that meets a certain condition using the MAXIF and MINIF functions in Google Sheets?

To find the largest or smallest value that meets a certain condition using the MAXIF and MINIF functions in Google Sheets, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your Google Sheets document and select an empty cell where you want to display the result.

  2. Enter the formula using the MAXIF or MINIF function in the selected cell. The basic syntax is as follows:

    For finding the largest value that meets a condition:

    =MAXIFS(range, criteria_range1, criterion1, criteria_range2, criterion2, ...)

    For finding the smallest value that meets a condition:

    =MINIFS(range, criteria_range1, criterion1, criteria_range2, criterion2, ...)

    Note: The "range" parameter refers to the range of values you want to evaluate, and the "criteria_range" parameters refer to the ranges to be tested against the criteria. The "criterion" parameters represent the conditions you want to impose.

  3. Replace the "range" with the actual range of values that you want to evaluate.

  4. Fill in the necessary "criteria_range" and "criterion" pairs to specify the condition. You can have multiple pairs if you need to impose multiple conditions.

  5. Press Enter to apply the formula and get the result.

The formula will calculate and display the largest or smallest value from the provided range that meets the specified condition(s).
