I am trying to keep track of attendance. I want to be able to retrieve dates
of when a student is absent. How can I do that?

"Student
I.D. #" Last Name First Name 12/1/05 12/2/05 12/3/05 12/04/05
Student Example Absent Absent

When I do my report, I want to be able to get the date the student was
absent. I need help on my formula.

Last date?

Just use

=INDEX(1:1,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,2:2))

assuming the data is in row 2, dates in row 1.
