Default Please help me with this function? I am struggling..

If you ever do consulting, email me. I get offered stuff way over my head
from time to time-- aka-- the level of Excel you normally occupy.

Remember, this formula, entered in C2, is an array** formula, and when you
first enter it, press CTRL+SHIFT+Enter to commit it. Then copy down as needed.

The first row of the spreadsheet contains headers.

In Cells D2:D2500 my spreadsheet gives a list of dates specific events occur.

In Cells G2:G2500 my spreadsheet lists the district in which these events
occur.

In Cells C2:C2500 I need to count the # of days since the last event that
occurred within this district.



I am trying to get this formula to work, and can't seem to do it (but thank
you JohnC, I think you've given me an excellent start- if I was better at
this, I'd have probably figured it out and wouldn't need to ask this
question).



=IF(COUNTIF($D$1:$D2,D3)<0,D3-MAX(IF(($G$2:$G$2500=G3)*($D$2:$D$2500<D3),$D$2:$D $2500)),"")
