Returning the last worked date

[Remsnow]

I am trying to ascertain the last date that a worker provided their services for us. I have created some unique lookup values which include the worker's name, the department they worked in and if the job was 'filled'. The data I have has every single shift that the worker has ever completed for us and the date they worked in date format dd/mm/yyyy.

On a separate page I have the unique lookup values (duplicates removed) in the following format 'JohnSmithDepartment1Filled'. I would like the formula to go into the other sheet, find the value and from the adjacent cell find return the date the worker provided their services.


To summarise in the shift report we have all the worker's details and dates provided. In another sheet you will have the worker's unique lookup, and a blank cell next to it with a title above 'Last date worked'. I want to look at the worker's unique identifier and go onto the other sheet and find the last date that worker provided their services.
Any questions please just ask. Any help is really appreciated.

Hi there. I find myself using this formula all of the time and I came back to thank you again for your help, but it appears I didn't thank you in the first place! I am really sorry about that, but thank you so much for the help with this!
