to CONCATENATE from the smallest date with at least 2 criteria
Andri,
As long as those are properly formatted dates try this ARRAY formula. the
lookup values are in D2 (B) and E2 (E)
=TEXT(MIN(IF(B2:B11=D2,IF(C2:C11=E2,A2:A11))),"dd-mmm-yy")&" ,
"&TEXT(MAX(IF(B2:B11=D2,IF(C2:C11=E2,A2:A11))) ,"dd-mmm-yy")
This is an array formula which must be entered by pressing CTRL+Shift+Enter
and not just Enter. If you do it correctly then Excel will put curly brackets
around the formula {}. You can't type these yourself. If you edit the formula
you must enter it again with CTRL+Shift+Enter.

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Dear All,
Here is the sample database.
Date Salesman Region
16-Aug-08 A N
16-Aug-09 B E
16-June-07 C S
15-Aug-07 A S
15-Apr-07 B E
4-Sep-07 D N
4-May-07 E N
6-Sep-07 A N
3-Oct-07 B W
24-Sep-07 E E
i would like to concatenate for Salesman B and Region E(east) in A1, so the
result will be "15-Apr-07,16-Aug-09"... which formula can solve it?
tried SMALL + sumproduct(but...this sum all the date in that arrays).
thank you for your kind attention and help.
respectfully,
andri
