Try this array formula

=MAX(IF(A1:A20="t",B1:B20))

This is an array formula which must be entered with 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 ranges
'then you must re-enter as An array

Try an array formula like

=MAX(--(A1:A9="T")*(B1:B9))

use shift-control-enter to enter. This will give the max value for
numbers in B1:B9, where A1:A9 has the letter T.

Good luck

so you have to enter it with a control shift enter but once its written i
don't have to do anything special, correct?....only if i modify the formula
do i have to control shift enter?
 
This one doesn't required ctrl+shift+enter, Just press Enter

=SUMPRODUCT(MAX((A1:A20="T")*B1:B20))
 
Correct
