Hi All

I have a table which is the Subjects pulled in from my emails, along with the DateTimeSent.
I am (in the lower table) trying to set up an "OK" "NOK" based on the date time stamp.
The formula I have so far is:-
Excel Formula:
=MAX(IF(COUNTIF(BCKUPs!$A$1:$A$4503,CONCAT("*",G11,"*")),BCKUPs!F$1:F$4503))
so if Result is found in Subject then return most recent DateTimeSent
I am trying to use a wild card to pull from the text which I receive, but it is not working.
Any help would be most welcome.

Hi,

would something like this offer you any help in your quest ?
Caveat here is that I can see your data is laid out in a time / date chronological order .. ie. most recent would be first (or at the top of the list). So this formula assumes you will always pull the "first instance" of the text find.
If it finds nothing, then it leaves the cell blank.

Let us know how you get one.
Cheers
Rob
