Finding the last value entered for an entity
Hi all!
I was wondering if I can get some Excel help for a problem I have encountered: Below is a list of the field names corresponding to the columns in Excel (separated by comma's): LastName, FirstName, RepID, Sales, UpdateNumber I input information from various sources into this spreadsheet. I have another spreadsheet set up which uses the data from above to do some calculations. To make my request simple, I'll provide an example. Let's say I have the following 10 entries in the database: LastName, FirstName, RepID, Sales, UpdateNumber Miller, John, CA23, 52000, 1 Talbot, Tom, NJ12, 7020, 1 Kowal, Jen, AZ13, 10900, 1 Miller, John, CA23, 64000, 2 Lamb, Jeff, NJ29, 493440, 1 Miller, John CA23, 89000, 3 Allen, Kevin, PA22, 90800, 1 Lamb, Jeff, NJ29, 3232444, 2 Kowal, Jen, AZ13, 15000, 2 Talbot, Tom, NJ12, 50000, 2 Any time there's an update for a particular salesperson, the UpdateNumbers adds 1 to the last UpdateNumber. So, if you look above, John Miller's UpdateNumber has reached 3 - for 3 updates. This would be the entry I'm interested in. So, on my other spreadsheet which i use to perform calculations, I would like to pull up the entry from above list for John to reflect the latest sale (89,000). How would i achieve that? Is there a way to figure out the max of the UpdateNumber based on code and then doing a Vlookup against that? What I do is find the latest sales figure from the above table? It is not necessarily a larger figure or else I could do a MAX function alongwith a vlookup or something. Any or all help with be greatly appreciated! Thanks much! |
