grab max date from list
I have several columns of data. The most important being a client name and
their last date of service. Can I pivot and pull the patient name and only grab their last date of service, or is there a vlookup that will grab the most recent date? |
Hi!
Why pull and grab when you can yank! <g Client names in column A Dates in column G Entered as an array with the key combo of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER: =MAX(IF(A1:A100="Client_Name",G1:G100)) Format the cell as DATE Biff -----Original Message----- I have several columns of data. The most important being a client name and their last date of service. Can I pivot and pull the patient name and only grab their last date of service, or is there a vlookup that will grab the most recent date? . |
=SUMPRODUCT(MAX((RngNames=E1)*(RngDates)))

I must not have something quite right... when I follow the instructions my
column fills with the formula... =MAX(IF(A1:A100="Client_Name",G1:G100)) "Biff" wrote: Hi!

Sounds like your cells were probably formatted as Text *before* you entered
the formula. To check if this is so, select one of the "bad" cells displaying the formula, and then: <Ctrl <Shift. <~ Then <F2 Then <Enter What this does is use a keyboard shortcut to format the cell to General, then re-enter the formula. If this *doesn't* work, another possibility is that you're in "formula view mode". To toggle in and out of this view, hold <Ctrl, and then hit the key that has the <~ on it. -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "jenn" wrote in message ...
