Finding most recent date for each customer - XL 2007
 

I have a simple list, the left column is the customer number, the right
column is the date of every sale made to the customer. I need to filter this
list to show the most recent date only for each customer. The list has many
hundreds of customer numbers with between 1 and 200 dates per customer.
There are no blanks in the list

eg.
1234 25/10/2009
1234 26/10/2009
1234 03/03/2010
1356 23/12/2009
1356 25/04/2010
1999 06/02/2009
2157 09/05/2009
2157 10/06/2009
2157 25/11/2009
2157 23/04/2010

result would be
1234 03/03/2010
1356 25/04/2010
1999 06/02/2009
2157 23/04/2010

Finding most recent date for each customer - XL 2007
 

Hi,

You could try this

Suppose your data is in range A1:B500 (where row 1 is the header row). Go
to Data Filter Advanced Filter and select Copy to another location. In
the list box, select A1:B500. Leave the criteria box blank and in the copy
to box, select any blank cell. Check the box for unique records. This will
get you all the unique customers

Suppose the first unique customer is in cell D2. In cell E2, enter the
following array formula (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) and copy down

=max(if(($A$2:$A$500=E2),$B$2:$B$500))

Hi Herbert, in my case the pivot table and the max filter doesn't seem to work. As the previous post, I have several entries for the same customer but I also have a status ID for each entry. I need to filter the most recent date by customer and obtain the status ID of that most recent date.
Example:
CompanyID Date Status ID
2540 19/10/12 1
2540 06/11/12 38
2539 19/10/12 1
2539 06/11/12 39
2538 19/10/12 1
2538 05/11/12 1
2538 13/11/12 37
2537 19/10/12 1
2537 06/11/12 23
2536 19/10/12 1
2536 06/11/12 22

The result I'm searching for is:
CompanyID Date Status ID
2540 06/11/12 38
2539 06/11/12 39
2538 13/11/12 37
2537 06/11/12 23
2536 06/11/12 22

I've attached a sample of my list.

Many thanks in advance
