Conditional Min and Max in Excel 2010

Question

I would like to find Min and Max of Quantity (Column 2) based on Type (coloumn

Answer 1

A rather sneaky but simple way to do it is
1. create a new column that concatenates both Type and Qty and Call it "TypeQty" or whatever you'd like
2. Sort (Ascending) the new table ie Type,Qty and TypeQty all together but sort on the TypeQty column.
3. apply a formulat that checks if the type in the row above is the same as the current row. if not then mark that row because its the last of the current type.

you will end up with the "mark" only the max rows for each type. See screenshots
