Predetermined dates cells

**clarbare2** · 05-17-2014, 07:46 PM

I need help!!

I need a formula for a cell so that it displays the latest date out of a string of dates in other cells.

As an example:
Site # Construction Date Fiber Date Backhaul Date
CH11XC111 5/5/15 5/9/15 5/30/15

In the above data, I need an "Earliest Date to Complete" cell that will display 5/30/15 (because the latest date in that chain is 5/30/15).

Thanks!!

Assuming your headers are in row 1, then you can use this:

=MAX(B2:D2)

Format the cell as a date.

Hope this helps.
