    Lookup latest date in a table based on 2 criteria

    Good afternoon all,

    I am trying the following formula to return the maximum/latest date from a table based on 2 criterias:

    {=MAX(IF(AND('Completed Runs'!$F$4:$F$5000=R5,'Completed Runs'!$B$4:$B$5000="Outlook Plumbing"),'Completed Runs'!$H$4:$H$5000))}

    However, it returns 0

    Column B = Company Name
    Column F = Zones
    Column H = Dates of service
    R5 = Zone (criteria)

    So for this I would like to find what the last service date for company "Outlook Plumbing" in zone 1, was.

    Thank you.
    Marianne

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    Try this -

    =MAX((B22=$F$3:$F$18)*($B$3:$B$18="Outlook Plumbing")*$H$3:$H$18)

    ...confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

    Re: Lookup latest date in a table based on 2 criteria

    Thanks Dave,

    It worked on my little mock sheet, but when I put it into the main file it returns a #VALUE

    {=MAX((R4='Completed Runs'!$F$4:$F$5000)*('Completed Runs'!$B$4:$B$5000="Outlook Plumbing")*$H$4:$H$5000)}

    And yes I have activated the array {}.

    Thanks for your help.

    Try this array formula to find any text in column H.

    Probably something with references must have messed up, or the columns would have changed..

    Please check it out, and if you still have a problem, kindly attach the sheet with errors..

    Re: Lookup latest date in a table based on 2 criteria

    OK I worked out why it isn't working in the main sheet, it's before I have text in column "H". Is there a work around this?

    Re: Lookup latest date in a table based on 2 criteria

    But then if there is Text in Column H, how could you possibly find the Max of it?

    Or is it that Dates are entered as Text, in such a case, you will have to change the Text Dates to Actual dates..
