Let's say I have the following in a table :
A | B | desired_output
----------------------------
1 | 10 | 1 | 0
2 | 20 | 7 | 0
3 | 30 | 3 | 0
4 | 20 | 2 | 0
5 | 30 | 5 | 1
I'd like to find a formula for each of the cells in the desired_output
column which looks at the max of B1:B5 but only for rows for which A = max(A1:A5)
If that's not clear, I'll try to put it another way :
for all the rows in A1:A5 that are equal to max(A1:A5) // so that's rows 3 and 5
find the one which has the max value on B // so between B3 and B5, that's B5
output 1 for this one, 0 for the other
I'd say there would be a where
somewhere if such a function existed, something like = if(B=(max(B1:B5) where A = max(A1:A5)), 1, 0)
but I can't find how to do it...
I can do it in two columns with a trick :
A | B | C | D
----------------------------
1 | 10 | 1 | | 0
2 | 20 | 7 | | 0
3 | 30 | 3 | 3 | 0
4 | 20 | 2 | | 0
5 | 30 | 5 | 5 | 1
With Cn = if(An=max(A$1:A$5),Bn,"")
and Dn = if(Cn = max(C$1:C$5), 1, 0)
But I still can't find how to do it in one column

=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(LEN(A1:A), IF(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(CONCAT(A1:A&"×", B1:B),
JOIN("×", QUERY(A1:B, "order by A desc, B desc limit 1")), 1, 0), )<>"", 1, 0), ))
or shorter:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A:A<>"",N(A:A&"×"&B:B=JOIN("×",SORTN(A:B,1,,1,0,2,0))),))
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A:A<>"",N(A:A&B:B=JOIN(,SORTN(A:B,1,,1,0,2,0))),))

For systems without MAXIFS, put this in C1 and fill down.
=--(B1=MAX(INDEX(B$1:B$5-(A$1:A$5<>MAX(A$1:A$5))*1E+99, , )))

How about the following:
=--AND(A5=MAX($A$1:$A$5),B5=MAXIFS($B$1:$B$5,$A$1:$A$5,MAX($A$1:$A$5)))
