I want to calculate the maximum amount of rain fallen on a day.
Column B contains the date as YYYYMMDD (value, not text)
Column C contains the number of the hour of measurement (ranging from 1 until 24)
Column N contains the amount of rain fallen in [mm] : 0 if no rain; positive integer if rain has fallen
What formula calculates the maximum amount of rain fallen on a day?
So:
for january 4th I want to sum N2:N25
for january 5th I want to sum N26:N49
etc.
and return the maximum of those calculated values
REMARK:
a value of -1 in column N indicates 'not measured' and shoudl be treated as 'no rain' (= 0)
I found one, my testing area only extended 1,000 rows, but it should scale nicely.
=MAX(SUMIFS(N2:N1000,B2:B1000,B2:B1000))
Remember to enter as an array formula by confirming with CNTRL + SHIFT + ENTER
Here's an ugly solution that takes 3 cells, but is much faster than my first formula:
=MAX(SUMIF(N2:N25,">"&0),SUMIF(N26:N49,">"&0),SUMIF(N50:N73,">"&0),SUMIF(N74:N97,">"&0),SUMIF(N98:N121,">"&0),SUMIF(N122:N145,">"&0),SUMIF(N146:N169,">"&0),SUMIF(N170:N193,">"&0),SUMIF(N194:N217,">"&0),SUMIF(N218:N241,">"&0),SUMIF(N242:N265,">"&0),SUMIF(N266:N289,">"&0),SUMIF(N290:N313,">"&0),SUMIF(N314:N337,">"&0),SUMIF(N338:N361,">"&0),SUMIF(N362:N385,">"&0),SUMIF(N386:N409,">"&0),SUMIF(N410:N433,">"&0),SUMIF(N434:N457,">"&0),SUMIF(N458:N481,">"&0),SUMIF(N482:N505,">"&0),SUMIF(N506:N529,">"&0),SUMIF(N530:N553,">"&0),SUMIF(N554:N577,">"&0),SUMIF(N578:N601,">"&0),SUMIF(N602:N625,">"&0),SUMIF(N626:N649,">"&0),SUMIF(N650:N673,">"&0),SUMIF(N674:N697,">"&0),SUMIF(N698:N721,">"&0),SUMIF(N722:N745,">"&0),SUMIF(N746:N769,">"&0),SUMIF(N770:N793,">"&0),SUMIF(N794:N817,">"&0),SUMIF(N818:N841,">"&0),SUMIF(N842:N865,">"&0),SUMIF(N866:N889,">"&0),SUMIF(N890:N913,">"&0),SUMIF(N914:N937,">"&0),SUMIF(N938:N961,">"&0),SUMIF(N962:N985,">"&0),SUMIF(N986:N1009,">"&0),SUMIF(N1010:N1033,">"&0),SUMIF(N1034:N1057,">"&0),SUMIF(N1058:N1081,">"&0),SUMIF(N1082:N1105,">"&0),SUMIF(N1106:N1129,">"&0),SUMIF(N1130:N1153,">"&0),SUMIF(N1154:N1177,">"&0),SUMIF(N1178:N1201,">"&0),SUMIF(N1202:N1225,">"&0),SUMIF(N1226:N1249,">"&0),SUMIF(N1250:N1273,">"&0),SUMIF(N1274:N1297,">"&0),SUMIF(N1298:N1321,">"&0),SUMIF(N1322:N1345,">"&0),SUMIF(N1346:N1369,">"&0),SUMIF(N1370:N1393,">"&0),SUMIF(N1394:N1417,">"&0),SUMIF(N1418:N1441,">"&0),SUMIF(N1442:N1465,">"&0),SUMIF(N1466:N1489,">"&0),SUMIF(N1490:N1513,">"&0),SUMIF(N1514:N1537,">"&0),SUMIF(N1538:N1561,">"&0),SUMIF(N1562:N1585,">"&0),SUMIF(N1586:N1609,">"&0),SUMIF(N1610:N1633,">"&0),SUMIF(N1634:N1657,">"&0),SUMIF(N1658:N1681,">"&0),SUMIF(N1682:N1705,">"&0),SUMIF(N1706:N1729,">"&0),SUMIF(N1730:N1753,">"&0),SUMIF(N1754:N1777,">"&0),SUMIF(N1778:N1801,">"&0),SUMIF(N1802:N1825,">"&0),SUMIF(N1826:N1849,">"&0),SUMIF(N1850:N1873,">"&0),SUMIF(N1874:N1897,">"&0),SUMIF(N1898:N1921,">"&0),SUMIF(N1922:N1945,">"&0),SUMIF(N1946:N1969,">"&0),SUMIF(N1970:N1993,">"&0),SUMIF(N1994:N2017,">"&0),SUMIF(N2018:N2041,">"&0),SUMIF(N2042:N2065,">"&0),SUMIF(N2066:N2089,">"&0),SUMIF(N2090:N2113,">"&0),SUMIF(N2114:N2137,">"&0),SUMIF(N2138:N2161,">"&0),SUMIF(N2162:N2185,">"&0),SUMIF(N2186:N2209,">"&0),SUMIF(N2210:N2233,">"&0),SUMIF(N2234:N2257,">"&0),SUMIF(N2258:N2281,">"&0),SUMIF(N2282:N2305,">"&0),SUMIF(N2306:N2329,">"&0),SUMIF(N2330:N2353,">"&0),SUMIF(N2354:N2377,">"&0),SUMIF(N2378:N2401,">"&0),SUMIF(N2402:N2425,">"&0),SUMIF(N2426:N2449,">"&0),SUMIF(N2450:N2473,">"&0),SUMIF(N2474:N2497,">"&0),SUMIF(N2498:N2521,">"&0),SUMIF(N2522:N2545,">"&0),SUMIF(N2546:N2569,">"&0),SUMIF(N2570:N2593,">"&0),SUMIF(N2594:N2617,">"&0),SUMIF(N2618:N2641,">"&0),SUMIF(N2642:N2665,">"&0),SUMIF(N2666:N2689,">"&0),SUMIF(N2690:N2713,">"&0),SUMIF(N2714:N2737,">"&0),SUMIF(N2738:N2761,">"&0),SUMIF(N2762:N2785,">"&0),SUMIF(N2786:N2809,">"&0),SUMIF(N2810:N2833,">"&0),SUMIF(N2834:N2857,">"&0),SUMIF(N2858:N2881,">"&0),SUMIF(N2882:N2905,">"&0),SUMIF(N2906:N2929,">"&0),SUMIF(N2930:N2953,">"&0),SUMIF(N2954:N2977,">"&0),SUMIF(N2978:N3001,">"&0),SUMIF(N3002:N3025,">"&0),SUMIF(N3026:N3049,">"&0),SUMIF(N3050:N3073,">"&0),SUMIF(N3074:N3097,">"&0),SUMIF(N3098:N3121,">"&0),SUMIF(N3122:N3145,">"&0),SUMIF(N3146:N3169,">"&0),SUMIF(N3170:N3193,">"&0),SUMIF(N3194:N3217,">"&0),SUMIF(N3218:N3241,">"&0),SUMIF(N3242:N3265,">"&0),SUMIF(N3266:N3289,">"&0),SUMIF(N3290:N3313,">"&0),SUMIF(N3314:N3337,">"&0),SUMIF(N3338:N3361,">"&0),SUMIF(N3362:N3385,">"&0),SUMIF(N3386:N3409,">"&0),SUMIF(N3410:N3433,">"&0),SUMIF(N3434:N3457,">"&0),SUMIF(N3458:N3481,">"&0),SUMIF(N3482:N3505,">"&0),SUMIF(N3506:N3529,">"&0),SUMIF(N3530:N3553,">"&0),SUMIF(N3554:N3577,">"&0),SUMIF(N3578:N3601,">"&0),SUMIF(N3602:N3625,">"&0),SUMIF(N3626:N3649,">"&0),SUMIF(N3650:N3673,">"&0),SUMIF(N3674:N3697,">"&0),SUMIF(N3698:N3721,">"&0),SUMIF(N3722:N3745,">"&0),SUMIF(N3746:N3769,">"&0),SUMIF(N3770:N3793,">"&0),SUMIF(N3794:N3817,">"&0),SUMIF(N3818:N3841,">"&0),SUMIF(N3842:N3865,">"&0),SUMIF(N3866:N3889,">"&0),SUMIF(N3890:N3913,">"&0),SUMIF(N3914:N3937,">"&0),SUMIF(N3938:N3961,">"&0),SUMIF(N3962:N3985,">"&0),SUMIF(N3986:N4009,">"&0),SUMIF(N4010:N4033,">"&0),SUMIF(N4034:N4057,">"&0),SUMIF(N4058:N4081,">"&0),SUMIF(N4082:N4105,">"&0),SUMIF(N4106:N4129,">"&0),SUMIF(N4130:N4153,">"&0),SUMIF(N4154:N4177,">"&0),SUMIF(N4178:N4201,">"&0),SUMIF(N4202:N4225,">"&0),SUMIF(N4226:N4249,">"&0),SUMIF(N4250:N4273,">"&0),SUMIF(N4274:N4297,">"&0),SUMIF(N4298:N4321,">"&0),SUMIF(N4322:N4345,">"&0),SUMIF(N4346:N4369,">"&0),SUMIF(N4370:N4393,">"&0),SUMIF(N4394:N4417,">"&0),SUMIF(N4418:N4441,">"&0),SUMIF(N4442:N4465,">"&0),SUMIF(N4466:N4489,">"&0),SUMIF(N4490:N4513,">"&0),SUMIF(N4514:N4537,">"&0),SUMIF(N4538:N4561,">"&0),SUMIF(N4562:N4585,">"&0),SUMIF(N4586:N4609,">"&0),SUMIF(N4610:N4633,">"&0),SUMIF(N4634:N4657,">"&0),SUMIF(N4658:N4681,">"&0),SUMIF(N4682:N4705,">"&0),SUMIF(N4706:N4729,">"&0),SUMIF(N4730:N4753,">"&0),SUMIF(N4754:N4777,">"&0),SUMIF(N4778:N4801,">"&0),SUMIF(N4802:N4825,">"&0),SUMIF(N4826:N4849,">"&0),SUMIF(N4850:N4873,">"&0),SUMIF(N4874:N
