I have imported a query into excel and I'm having a problem sorting the data.
The data consists of part #, description, technician #, usage qty, and usage
date. I am trying to find the last used date for each part #. The imported
query gives every used qty of every part and looks something like this:
A B C D E
1..part # description tech # usage qty usage date
2..11647 spool oring 2101 -4 051202
3..11647 spool oring 2103 -1 040103
4..12896 fan motor 4109 -3 060301

I can do a pivot table on another sheet and sort by tech number or part
number and get some sort of organization, but I'm only interested in knowing
the last time a part was used. I've tried inserting a formula into
F2=if(E2<051212,"Over 6 months ago","") and so on, which organizes the part
usage into a few useable types, but I can't seem to organize it down to the
last uasage. Any tips or hints would be great.
