Is there a way I can get minimum/maximum values from numeric fields, such as `%_bitrate%`, from a list of files (`$loop`)?
Specifically, I'm looking to create an output like
> Bitrate: 800-1500 kbps
For a list of files with values like
> Track 1: Bitrate: 900 kbps
> Track 2: Bitrate: 800 kbps
> Track 3: Bitrate: 1200 kbps
> Track 4: Bitrate: 1500 kbps
> Track 5: Bitrate: 1000 kbps
Is there a way to do this?

The search words "minimum maximum export" get this hit:

When cataloguing my audiobooks, I have Tag-Filename set up as: Artist - Series # - Title (Genre) (Bit Rate) (Format) But some (many) have varying bit-rates between files. So for example: J.K. Rowling - Harry Potter 01 - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Fantasy) (48k) (MP3) J.K. Rowling - Harry Potter 01 - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Fantasy) (64k) (MP3) J.K.

So sorry, I missed that!
Thank you 👍 😊

FWIW, here is the line that compares, sets and outputs the min/max for the `%_bitrate%` field, using variables called `brMin` and `brMax` for intermediate values.
Replace those with what you're after if you're looking to do something similar
```auto
$loop(%File%)$loop(%File%)$puts(brMin,$if($or($less(%_bitrate%,$get(brMin)),$less($get(brMin),1)),%_bitrate%,$get(brMin)))$puts(brMax,$if($or($grtr(%_bitrate%,$get(brMax)),$less($get(brMax),1)),%_bitrate%,$get(brMax)))$loopend()$get(brMin)-$get(brMax)$loopend() kbps
```
This will render
> 800-1500 kbps
for the above example scenario.
Thank you to @rko31415, that looks like a nightmare to set up 😅
