Compare multiple dates, can enumerate cell based on most recent date
Howdy All,
This is what I want to do: I have a spreadsheet with 4 dates in columns I, J, K, and L starting in row 3. In the corresponding columns of row 1, i want to count the number of times each column contains the most recent date. Example: I3 = 1/1/2000, J3 = 2/2/2001, K3 = 3/3/2002, L3 = 4/4/2003 L3 would now equal 1. Then next time column L contains the most recent date, L3 would enumerate and equal 2, etc. Any ideas? Thanks, Brian |

Try something like this in cell I1:
=COUNTIF(I3:I100,MAX($I$3:$L$3)) then copy to cells J1, K1 and L1. This assumes you will have up to 100 items in each column - adjust to suit. Hope this helps. Pete |

Compare multiple dates, can enumerate cell based on most recent date
Hi!
If I understand correctly...... Enter this formula in I1 and copy across to L1: =SUMPRODUCT(--(I3:I7=SUBTOTAL(4,OFFSET($I3:$L7,ROW(I3:L7)-ROW(I3:L3),,1)))) Adjust ranges to suit.

Compare multiple dates, can enumerate cell based on most recent date
Thanks Pete.
But, I'm not sure that this is doing what I want. I want to compare the 4 values in each successive rows against the values in just that row. Example: I3 thru L3 are compare just against I3 thru L3 and the column containing the most recent date enumerates, I4 thru L4 are compared just against I4 thru L4 and the column containing the most recent date enumerates. Is that what you formula does? Thanks, Brian "Pete_UK" wrote in message ups.com... Try something like this in cell I1: =COUNTIF(I3:I100,MAX($I$3:$L$3)) then copy to cells J1, K1 and L1.

Biff,
I tried your formula as well, but didn't get the results I expected. I adjust it, because I have 4300 values which from row 3 thru row 4303. "Biff" wrote in message ... Is that what you formula does?

Post the *EXACT* formula you used.
What is your *EXACT* range, I3:L4303 ? Biff "Brian" wrote in message ... Biff, I tried your formula as well, but didn't get the results I expected.

Compare multiple dates, can enumerate cell based on most recent date
Do you have any rows where every cell is empty?
For example: (I understand that you're counting dates. Dates are really just numbers formatted to look like a date so the formula will work on the below example as well as a table full of dates) ...I..........J..........K..........L..... 10........22........14.........57 ......................................... 44........19........88.........77 If so, each empty cell will evaluate to being the max value of that particular row. Empty cells evaluate to 0 and since there is no value higher than 0, 0 is the max value for that row. This formula will account for empty cells: =SUMPRODUCT(--(I3:I7<""),--(I3:I7=SUBTOTAL(4,OFFSET($I3:$L7,ROW(I3:L7)-ROW(I3:L3),,1)))) Biff "Biff" wrote in message ... Post the *EXACT* formula you used.
