Hi
This is great technique, so can we pull out the start and end date of series of consecutive date?

Can we pull out the corresponding dates with values here?
=MAX(FREQUENCY(IF($A$2:$A$28=$D2,IF($B$3:$B$29-$B$2:$B$28=1,ROW($B$2:$B$28))),IF(($A$2:$A$28<>$D2)+($B$3:$B$29-$B$2:$B$28<>1),ROW($B$2:$B$28))))+(COUNTIF($A$2:$A$28,$D2)>0) What wrong with this formula? It is not working here.
