I have a list of data like the above where the variable goes into the thousands. I'd like to find the most recent date for each variable then replace the other dates with it. When I'm done, the data would look like the following:

If dates are in ascending order within a group...

C2, control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:

=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,IF($B$2:$B$16=B2,$A$2:$A$16))

 

[AlphaFrog]

Column A are the dates and column B are the variables. Test this on a copy of your data.

Sub Max_Dates()

    Dim Lastrow As Long
    Dim UniqueVars As Range, cell As Range
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    Lastrow = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    Range("B1:B" & Lastrow).AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, Unique:=True
    Set UniqueVars = Range("B2:B" & Lastrow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
    
    For Each cell In UniqueVars
        Range("B1:B" & Lastrow).AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=cell.Value
        Range("A2:A" & Lastrow).Value = Application.Max(Range("A2:A" & Lastrow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible))
    Next cell
    
    ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = False
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
End Sub

Awesome! Thanks everyone. I've tried the first two options and they both give me exactly what I need. Gotta love array formulas!
