I have a spreadsheet table derived from a SQL view. I perform an ARRAY function on the table where I determine the MAX value of a column of values based on the value in another row column:

{MAX(IF( lookuprange=cellvalue,rangevalues ))}

How can write a SQL statement to emulate this function in the original view?

Not really enough to go on here, but something like MAX(CASE WHEN COL1 IN (Val1,Val2, etc.) THEN COL2 ELSE someOtherValue END)

If you use version 2012, you can use IIF function in the same way used in EXCEL

the lookuprange can only be simulated by join in t-sql.
then you can use something like jimf showed or using IIF if sql 2012
