Regarding your second question:
 
Assuming your data begins in row 1, the basic formula for the MAX would be
   =MAX(IF($E$1:$E$100á,$F$1:$F$100))
and the basic formula for hte MIN would be
   =MIN(IF($E$1:$E$100á,$F$1:$F$100))
 
Since you specified Excel 2007, you could use whole columns:
   =MAX(IF($E:$Eá,$F:$F))
   =MIN(IF($E:$Eá,$F:$F))
 
Of course, you could check against a value coded into the formula,  instead:
   =MAX(IF($E:$E="TF",$F:$F))
 
These are all array formulas which must be entered by pressing CTRL+Shift+Enter
and not just Enter. If you do it correctly then Excel will put curly brackets
around the formula {}. You can't type these yourself. If you edit the formula
you must enter it again with CTRL+Shift+Enter.
 
Here are fancier versions (still array formulas) that will only show the MAX or 
MIN on the first row for each set of initials, if you copied the formulas down 
through the rows of data:
   =IF(COUNTIF($E$1:E1,E1)>1,"",MAX(IF($E:$Eá,$F:$F)))
   =IF(COUNTIF($E$1:E1,E1)>1,"",MIN(IF($E:$Eá,$F:$F)))
 
Hope this helps,
 
Hutch

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had answers to a couple of questions I have about 
Excel 2007.

1. In the previous Excel version I had there was a way to do a chart with 2 
lines and there would be a y-axis on the left with a scale in days and the 
y-axis on the right was in percent delivery.  In the old version it was a chart 
with lines on 2 axis, 2nd tab when you were looking at the time of choosing a 
chart.  Any ideas what happened to this chart in 2007?

2. This is a formula help question.  I have 2 columns of data:

Column E is a list of data with different people (initials) and column F is 
numbers (time).  How do I find the max and min of column F for each individual 
in column E?   An example sample of data is listed below.  I have tried DMAX 
but I'm not sure if I'm selecting the proper columns for input.

Was trying DMAX.....    =DMAX(E:F,F:F,"TF")  =DMAX(database, column to 
evaluate, condition to be evaluated)  I thought this would give me value of 
3.77, the largest value for TF.

E           F
TF       2.33
GR      3.55
GR      6.11
TF       3.77
JP       2.98
JP       6.40
TF       1.88
TF       3.11
JP        7.87
GR       6.37
GR       4.69


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
