MAXIFS with DATEVALUE
I'm trying to enter the MAXIFS function in E2, but Excel doesn't recognize the formula. Thanks for any help you can offer.
In cell D36 you have formula =30:294001 which means you instruct Excel to return all rows from 30 to 294001. Includes row in which the formula is. Kind of cyclic reference and never ended loop.
If you remove this formula it works.

- scheijCopper ContributorYes, my version of Excel does support the MAXIFS function. I've used it before.
First parameter shall be the range, not formula. Convert first column into dates first.

Thanks, Sergei. VisitDateText, GearE, and SurvE are named ranges in the VisitData worksheet. Many cells in those named ranges are blank in this workbook. The VisitDate named range in the LF worksheet converts the text to a DATEVALUE. It seems the #VALUE results in VisitDate are causing the MAXIFS function in Q6 to return zero.
