Hi,


What function would be the best to use for evaluating a range of rows and pick the MAX date from a particular column? In other words, the newest date?


Have some data that has 3 columns:
project id
report date
status indicator.


...with LOTS of rows.


This is output from a repository where people input the status of a task. That status changes now and again. The output I have contains all of the rows (entries) into this repository, by project id.

Need to look at the project date, figure out the newest date, then grab the status id.


Thanks...
 

Excel Facts

Quick Sum
Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
Sort by date Sort by votes
Thoughts on Formula:
Code: 
=SUMPRODUCT(--('Status'!A$2:A$10000=C2),--MAX('Status'!A$2:A$10000),--GRAB('Status'!D$2:D$10000))


Not sure how to handle the MAX part.

GRAB is my psudeo-code to say...."get the value in the D column".


?


Thanks,
S

GRAB is not an Excel function, but it sounds like VLOOKUP is what you are looking for. Perhaps

=VLOOKUP(MAX(A:A), ,A1:G10000, 7, FALSE)

Yeah, GRAB is pseudo-code.

Your example does not account for consiering the project id value. Need to:

1) match project id
2) get the max date
3) grab the value in the statu id column
