Hi all,

Been trying various different formulas but I'm unable to work a formula for what I need.

What I would like to do is from a range of given dates, display the oldest date within the last 6 months.
So for example..

C4 - 21/03/2023
C5 - 15/04/2023
C6 - 02/09/2023
C7 - 12/10/2023
C8 - 02/01/2024

So from the above range of dates, in Cell D11, display the oldest date that is within the last 6 months of TODAYs date.
So the answer would be 02/09/2023 and I would like that to populate in D11.

Hopefully that makes sense, appreciate any help on this.
 

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
How about:

varios 10ene2024.xlsm
C
421/03/2023
515/04/2023
602/09/2023
712/10/2023
802/01/2024
9
10
1102/09/2023

DanteAmor,

There are certain dates in which that formula may not work properly.
Minor modification that should work a little better:
Replace:
Excel Formula:
TODAY()-180
with
Excel Formula:
EDATE(TODAY(),-6)

Otherwise, if the current date was 31/12/2024, it wouldn't see the following dates as being within the last 6 months:
01/07/2024
02/07/2024
03/07/2024


(note: dates represented in dd/mm/yyyy format)
