max reference cooresponding cell
Calling all Brilliant Excel veterans!
I have a row of 25+ cells with dates in them. I need a function that will find the most recent date in the row and then reference the coresponding label in the row above... Is there a way? I have used the max function and that will find the most recent date in the row... Now how do I get it to reference the text label in the row above. In other words, I need the function to scan the row for the most recent date and then reference the coresponding cell above and populate the function cell with the text/label. Any advice? Does that make sense? |

Replace the ranges in here with your own ranges
=INDEX(G5:N5,,MATCH(MAX(G6:N6),G6:N6,0)) G5:N5 is the label range G6:N6 is the date range "Andy" wrote: Calling all Brilliant Excel veterans! I have a row of 25+ cells with dates in them.
