based on this thread, vstack seems to be able to create a column of unique values in a date range:

The goal is highest total value and the champion of the person with the highest sum in the date range. So whoever knocks down the most pins during the competition.

Here Wilma would win because during March she had the most pins kocked down, and dino would not show up because he did not bowl during the month.

Tried this formula based on the other post, but get a #name error.
=TOCOL(IF((B2:B5>=E2)*(B2:B5<=F2)*(A2:A5<>""),A2:A5,1/0),3,1)
 
Thank you Fluffy and Alansidman. :)


Fluffy, your method works so simply and geniusly. Not sure how you did it.


Alan, I am looking forward to testing your work because it is teaching me a lot about power query methods that I would not have guessed.

Sincerely,
Forest
