Possible Look Up and Match With Condition

[Celticshadow]

Hi Forum

I have two sheets one named Dist and the other Dist Res. What I would like help with is having a formula that will extract the date from col A in the Dist sheet which has a number equal to or lower than 2 (in col F) and is the latest occurrence and matches the horse in Dist Res sheet and places the date in B2 (If a horse does not have a number lower than 2 then return 0). I have attached an example below in the hope that it will make my query a little clearer.

So the Horse A Boy Named Ivy most recently ran a race with a dist btn less than or equal to 2 on the 15 September 2022 thus that date then needs copied and put into the Dist Res sheet next to said horse name in cell B2.

So the Horse A Case of You most recently ran a race with a dist btn less than or equal to 2 on the 11 February 2022 thus that date then needs copied and put into the Dist Res sheet next to said horse name in cell B2.

So the Horse A Distant Place has not most recently ran a race with a dist btn less than or equal to 2 thus that date does not exist thus a number zero nedds to be entered into the Dist Res sheet next to said horse name in cell B2.


Many thanks in advance.

Regards

Hi Forum

I have attached a google docs link with an explanation in the Dist Res sheet for reference which may help clarify my query a little better I hope. I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks.

Hi etaf

Many thanks for replying it is much appreciated as I am completely stuck with this problem and would dearly wish it to be solved. I am unsure as to why the file can not be seen in google docs however I have loaded up a copy to dropbox and have attached a link below in the hope that this link will be more user friendly. Many thanks in advance.

yes, that worked
as you have 365 version of excel
I think this will work
=MAX(FILTER(Dist!$A$2:$A$21,(Dist!$D$2:$D$21=A2)*(Dist!$F$2:$F$21<=2),0))

BUT because the cell will be formatted as date - then zero will display as a date 0/1/1900
working on that - to change the format - and format() did not work.....

ok, that was interesting -
found in the forum here

How to make Date cell show = 0, not 1/0/1900?

I'm trying to make a custom spreadsheet from existing data to show due dates but the issue is if there is currently no due date the cell has a zero value and shows 1/0/1900. For simplicity A1 would be where I want to show due dates and B1 is the existing data (A1=B1). So if B1 is blank I get...

Dear etaf

I am ever so grateful that you have been kind enough to take time out of your day to pass on your knowledge and skillset to provide an answer to my query and queries of others. This forum and its members such as yourself never cease to amaze me, as you also have to try and decipher what luddites such as I are trying to convey before attempting to provide an answer. As per all my requests your solution works an absolute treat and I am truly thankful for your much needed help. Thank you ever so much.

Kindest Regards
