datalookup
Hi, I will try to get this right,
I have a list of names (multiple identical entries) each name(column A) has a date in the next column(B), & a figure in the next(C), I need a formula that will find a specific name in column A then check to see if there is a figure in Column C (i.e Not Blank) then retrieve the date in column B. To make it more awkward I need it to only retrieve the newest entry that matches the criteria. I hope that is clear enough (I think I confused myself) I was unsure if a lookup would be able to do this. Thank you in advance |

datalookup
This is an array formula that must be entered using ctrl+shift+enter
=MAX(IF(ISNUMBER(C2:C22)*(A2:A22="nameA"),B2:B22)) -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "Popeye the powerman" <Popeye the wrote in message ...
