I would like to populate the last 3 posting date from the data set.
The desired result across F1:J3.
[TABLE="width: 535"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]SKU[/TD]
[TD]Region[/TD]
[TD]Last Posting Date[/TD]
[TD]2nd Last Posting Date[/TD]
[TD]3rd Last Posting Date[/TD]

[TD]2[/TD]
[TD]D[/TD]
[TD]04-Jan[/TD]

You should first alter the data so that each record is complete, otherwise this is too difficult. It's also wise to have the dates display fully.

Copy row3 down as necessary for each SKU and Location.
