Default MAX/MAXA – Formula not returning required value

formula works ok on my Excel 2003

I tried both options:

=MAX(IF('Raw Data '!$A$2:$A$5000=A2,'Raw Data '!$J$2:$J$5000,"")) ...... Returns a #VALUE error
=MAX(IF(A$2:A$5000=A2,'Raw Data '!J$2:J$5000)) ..... Returns the maximum value of '20090530' for all the cells.


I substituted A2 with the numeric value but with no change.

arra-enter this formula i.e. use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to insert it instead
of using just enter


then copy/drag down


pls click YES if it helped

Im trying to get MAX to return a latest date/highest value but the same date
is returned in each cell;


In column €˜A I have company codes, in column €˜J I have dates in which
business was done with the company specified in €˜A.

Presently MAX & MAXA is returning 20090530 for all cells, how can I obtain
above results as indicated under €˜Formula result?
