This works without ctrl+shift+enter, but your table should be sorted by a TYPE column.

Let's assume that your table is placed in B3:C15, then in A4 put

=IF(B4=B3;A3;A3+1)

in E4 - "1", in E5 - "2" , in E6 - "3", in F4 put:

=MAX(INDIRECT("C" & MATCH(E4;$A$1:$A$17;0) & ":C" & MATCH(E4;$A$1:$A$17;1) ))

and copy it to F5 and F6

in G4 put:

=MIN(INDIRECT("C" & MATCH(E4;$A$1:$A$17;0) & ":C" & MATCH(E4;$A$1:$A$17;1) ))

and copy it to G5 and G6

MATCH function handles strings incorrectly, so I had to number TYPEs, you can use VLOOKUP to change numbers in column E to a strings

In my table I used this solution to find strings with maximum values this way:
