Morning all,

I have the following calculation in my sheet :-

=IF(AT154="","",MAX(AT154:CI154))

if there is a date in present in AT154 then this formula will look along that row and in cell AJ154 will return the value of the most recent date in that row. However we have now started to record future dates in this row which I want to ignore and only return a value in AJ154 of the most recent date prior to today.

Could someone please modify this to achieve that?

Thank you kindly.
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Code:
=IF(AT154="","",MAX(IF(AT154:CI154<TODAY(),AT154:CI154)))
<today(),at154:ci154)))

Entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. If you have MAXIFS available you could also do it like this:

Code:
=IF(AT154="","",MAXIFS(AT154:CI154,AT154:CI154,"<"&TODAY()))

WBD</today(),at154:ci154)))
