Excel Tutorial – MAXIFS

The MAXIFS function in Microsoft Excel is a function that returns the maximum value from a range of cells based on multiple criteria. It allows you to find the maximum value of cells that meet specific criteria, rather than the maximum value of all cells in a range.

To use the MAXIFS function, follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Excel and select the cell where you want the maximum value to appear.
2. Type the following formula into the cell: =MAXIFS(range, criteria1, criteria2, …)
3. Replace “range” with the range of cells that you want to find the maximum value in.
4. Replace “criteria1”, “criteria2”, etc. with the criteria that cells must meet in order to be considered for the maximum value. For example, to find the maximum value in cells A1:A10 that are greater than 5, you would type: =MAXIFS(A1:A10, A1:A10, “>5”).
5. Press Enter to see the result.

The MAXIFS function is very useful for analyzing data and finding the maximum value of specific cells based on multiple criteria. It can save you time and effort by allowing you to easily find the maximum value of cells that meet specific conditions.
