MAXIFS function

Syntax

Range1 – required argument. It is a range of cells, a name of a named range, or a label of a column or a row, to which the corresponding criterion is to be applied.

Criterion: A criterion is a single cell Reference, Number or Text. It is used in comparisons with cell contents.

A reference to an empty cell is interpreted as the numeric value 0.

A matching expression can be:

• A number or logical value. A matching cell content equals the number or logical value.

• A value beginning with a comparator (<, <=, =, >, >=, <>).

  For =, if the value is empty it matches empty cells.

  For <>, if the value is empty it matches non-empty cells.

  For <>, if the value is not empty it matches any cell content except the value, including empty cells.

  Note: "=0" does not match empty cells.

  For = and <>, if the value is not empty and can not be interpreted as a number type or one of its subtypes and the property Search criteria = and <> must apply to whole cells is checked, comparison is against the entire cell contents, if unchecked, comparison is against any subpart of the field that matches the criteria. For = and <>, if the value is not empty and can not be interpreted as a Number type or one of its subtypes applies.

• Other Text value. If the property Search criteria = and <> must apply to whole cells is true, the comparison is against the entire cell contents, if false, comparison is against any subpart of the field that matches the criteria. The expression can contain text, numbers, regular expressions or wildcards (if enabled in calculation options).

Range2 – Optional. Range2 and all the following mean the same as Range1.

Criterion2 – Optional. Criterion2 and all the following mean the same as Criterion.

Pytanje zastupowace symbole abo regularne wurazy podpěruje. Ze zmóžnjenymi regularnymi wurazami móžeće „all.*“ zapodać, zo byšće na přikład prěnje wustupowanje „all“, slědowane wot někajkich znamješkow, namakał. Jeli chceće tekst pytać, kotryž je tež regularny wuraz, dyrbiće pak před kóžde metaznamješko abo operator regularneho wuraza znamješko „\“ stajić pak tekst z \Q…\E wobdać. Móžeće awtomatiske wuhódnoćenje zastupowacych symbolow abo regularnych wurazow w – LibreOffice Calc – Wuličić zmóžnić abo znjemóžnić.

Hdyž funkcije wužiwaće, hdźež so jedyn argument wužiwa abo wjacore argumenty wužiwaja, kotrež su znamješkowe rjećazki pytanskich kriterijow, kotrež regularny wuraz reprezentuja, prěni pospyt je, kriterije znamješkoweho rjećazka do ličbow přetworić. „.0“ so na přikład do 0.0 přetworja a tak dale. Jeli to je wuspěšne, njebudźe wotpowědnik wotpowědnik regularneho wuraza, ale budźe numeriski wotpowědnik. Hdyž wšak narodnu šemu wužiwaće, hdźež decimalne dźělatko dypk njeje, budźe přetworjenje regularneho wuraza fungować. Zo byšće wuhódnoćenje regularneho wuraza město numeriskeho wuraza wunuzował, wužiwajće někajki wuraz, kotryž njeda so wopak jako numeriski rozumić, na přikład „.[0]“ abo „.\0“ abo „(?i).0.

Func_Range and Range1, Range2... must have the same size, otherwise the function returns err:502 - Invalid argument.

The function can have up to 255 arguments, meaning that you can specify 127 criteria ranges and criteria for them.

If a cell contains TRUE, it is treated as 1, if a cell contains FALSE – as 0 (zero).

Examples

Consider the following table

In all examples below, ranges for calculation contain the row #6, which is ignored because it contains text.
