Format an empty cell as a date and enter in this formula (enter it by
pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) as it is an array formula:

=MAX(IF(A1:A10="meeting",A1:A10,""))

Hi I am looking for the best formula to return a value depending on a couple
of arguements.

I have two columns one with activity , one with a date - say a and b for
arguments sake.. column a may have: 1/1/05 , 2/1/05 , 3/1/05, 4/1/05 , 5/1/05
where column b may have: phone call , meeting , email , meeting, email..
