Can you build a formula to only pull data associated with the most recent date?

Example:

A1 - A100 has dates ranging from 06/25/18 - 08/11/17

I only want the data from the most recent date. This report will be updated everyday so I was hoping to have a formula that I can use everyday.

Thank you
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Maybe something like this:


Excel 2013/2016
ABC
16/25/2018AA
26/24/2018B
36/23/2018C
46/22/2018D
56/21/2018E
66/20/2018F
76/19/2018G
86/18/2018H
96/17/2018I
106/16/2018J
116/15/2018K
126/14/2018L
136/13/2018M
146/12/2018N
156/11/2018O
166/10/2018P
176/9/2018Q
186/8/2018R
196/7/2018S
206/6/2018T

Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
C1=VLOOKUP(MAX(A1:A20),A1:B20,2,FALSE)


The dates can be in any order, I just happen to have them in rev order because it was simple and quick.

Hello. Thank you for the quick response. When I put this vlookup in, it pulled all data for all dates not just the newest date.

Any thoughts?

Thanks again!
