I'm using this array formula to find the latest date in a range;

=MAX(IF('121Save'!$A$2:$A$1000=D20,('121Save'!$C$2:$C$1000)*1))

In cases where there is no date found I am getting "00/01/1900" - can this be taken out by the formula so I get something like "NO RECORD"?
 

Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
Code:
=IF(MAX(IF($A$2:$A$1000=D20,$C$2:$C$1000,""))=0,"NO RECORD",MAX(IF($A$2:$A$1000=D20,$C$2:$C$1000,"")))

This should work for now. However, I believe there could be an even smarter way to work this out.
