find & copy data from most recent entry
I have a spreadsheet with date & time of entry in column B. Column D
has text data. I want to find the most recent entry (data is not neccessarily entered in consective rows) and copy the data in Column D for that row to another cell (E1 in this case). For example: B D 8/28/08 8:17 PM RSW 8/28/08 8:18 PM MB 8/28/08 8:15 PM TF 8/28/08 8:16 PM WW I need a formula that would copy the data in D2 (the most recent row) and put it into E1. As time goes on this spreadsheet will have several hundred rows of data so I need to be able to automatically find the most recent entry. Thanks in advance, Brian |

find & copy data from most recent entry
I think...
In E1: =index(d2:d999,match(max(b2:b999),b2:b999,0)) Adjust the ranges to match or use the entire column: =index(d:d,match(max(b:b),b:b,0)) wrote: I have a spreadsheet with date & time of entry in column B.
