Attached is an excel file. There are two worksheets. In Worksheet 1
are 2 names with multiple dates and lab values. In Worksheet 2 is the
name with a blank space for labs and dates. I need put in the blank
lab and date fields on worksheet 2 the most recent date with associated
lab value.

Thanks to Steveg on a very similar topic we are using the formula
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$12198=A1),--(Sheet1!$C$1:$C$12198=B1),(Sheet1!$F$2:$F$12198))
to get a value if there was only one to chose from on seperate
worksheets. The only problem I am having with this formula in my old
case, is that it is not working when the values are textual.

Thanks for the help,
Wendi

Thanks for the help Morrigan unfortunately the formula assumes that I
know the most recent date. In my real spreadsheet I have thousands of
patients with 1 to 20 different dates and I want the formula to be able
to find the most recent date of that one patient and their associated
value. Does that make sense? Thanks for helping, Wendi

Morrigan just took a VERY courageous move by opening a file from someone he
COULD NOT TRUST!!! Please recognize his RISK by giving him a 'Yes' to his
helpful post.!!!
Morrigan, you've just risked/lost one of your nine lives. Hope your LUCK
continues!

I think you lost me.

The formula in column E finds the most recent date for each patient and
outputs it. The formula in colum D searches for the corresponding value
and outputs. Isn't that how you want?
