Hi,

I have a list of products and associated dates. A product will have multiple materials and each material have a expiry date. Something like table below.

[TABLE="width: 224"]
<colgroup><col span="2"><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]Product[/TD]
[TD]Material[/TD]
[TD]Material Expiry[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]AA[/TD]
[TD]a[/TD]
[TD]16-Aug-23[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]AA[/TD]
[TD]b[/TD]
[TD]17-May-23[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]BB[/TD]
[TD]b[/TD]
[TD]18-Aug-25[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]AA[/TD]
[TD]c[/TD]
[TD]19-Aug-22[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]CC[/TD]
[TD]b[/TD]
[TD]20-Aug-26[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]AA[/TD]
[TD]d[/TD]
[TD]21-Feb-20[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]BB[/TD]
[TD]a[/TD]
[TD]22-Aug-24[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]CC[/TD]
[TD]a[/TD]
[TD]23-Dec-19[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I want to run a query where say I want to look for product 'AA' and say its expiry date. For example 'AA' has material 'd' whose expiry date is 21-Feb-20. So for query for expiry of product AA, I should get the earliest of all dates, in this case 21-Feb-20.
Could you please help with the excel formula to find this out?

Regards
Soumen

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
