Question : Excel - Vlookup Max Value for a series of data

I am trying to obtain a max value for a vlookup series.  Hopefully this would illustrate it best.

Costco                500
Home Depot      1250
Costco              1000
Costco                250

I want the max value for Costco, so in this case, the third value, which is 1000.
Any help would be appreciated.

Answer : Excel - Vlookup Max Value for a series of data

I think you will need to use and array formula, so assuming your data is in A1:B4, give this a try

=MAX(IF(A1:A4="Costco",B1:B4))

ctrl-Shift-enter on the formula.
