arrays - Excel - find the minimum difference between elements in two columns that have same feature -
this first question here, apologizes if it's simple one. have following issue/goal.
i have 2 matrices:
at1 at2 b c e f g yrs ticker yld yrs ticker yld 7 ibm 4.5 6.5 ibm 1 6.5 gs 3 3 gs 2 4 msft 6 20 msft 6 1 ibm 3
now, need find, same ticker (let's ibm, hence column b matrix "at1", , column f matrix "at2"), minimum yield difference between ibm yields in column c , in column g, @ 1 condition though: maturity of ibm security in matrix "at1" , maturity of ibm security in matrix "at2" less 2 years.
so in example above there's once instance of ibm in matrix at1, has 7 years maturity , yield 4.5.
so 4.5 yield should compared , subtracted both ibm security yield 1 , 1 yield 3 in matrix at2 , give me minimum difference between (7-1) , (7-3).
theoretically output of array formula should give me 4, but: ibm line item yield 3 in matrix at2 has maturity = 1 year , if compare ibm security in matrix at1 maturity 7, realize maturity difference greater 2. hence answer be: 4.5 - 1 = 3.
