MAXIFS Doesn't work on mac Laptop
The function is suitable for Excel for Microsoft 365, Excel for Microsoft 365 for Mac, Excel for the web, Excel 2021, Excel 2021 for Mac, Excel 2019, Excel 2019 for Mac.
The top reason why the #NAME? error appears in the formula is because there is a typo in the formula name.
If you have an older version of Excel on the laptop, try the following formula:
=MAX(IF((A1:A5=C1);B1:B5))
Cell F1 contains the name for which the maximum is to be searched. Since the formula is an array formula, complete the entry with ⌘ - Enter.
Hope I was able to help you with this information.

Mine shows this:
Can you also upload a screenshot with the formula visible in the formula bar when you click the cell that returns the Name error?
Riny_van_Eekelen Thanks for your help! I noticed my version is 16.58 and yours is 16.59... I just "checked for updates" within Xcel this morning but the message said all apps are up to date. Could this be the problem, and if so, how can I force an update to 16.59?
