    Hello, I would like to do this but instead I need to find the first and last values between two dates. I have a list of dates on one column and a list of dollar amounts on another column. The dates are in order but the dollar values are random and both are in the middle of a table that can't be sorted. I have two cells where I specify the start and end date and want to find first and last dollar amounts within those two dates not the largest and smallest. Are there formulas that can return the first and last values between just the two dates I put on the cells where the range is specified?

    In more recent versions of office ( From 2016 onwards ) you now have MinIfs, MaxIfs and AverageIfs functions - so using array functions is no longer necessary.

    Re: Find Max Or Min Value In A Certain Date Range (Between Two Dates).

    It took some fiddling with the format of the date cells and the date range and value range must match as in the example. Other than that it worked perfectly. I've been trying to do this for a long time.
