Dear Friends,
PFA
In column N, O, I need to get the start date and end date. I have given the formula (with array) using google search.
But I am unable to get the correct result in cells marked in yellow.
The total rows would be around 2000 and would be increasing every month.
Can you help me with the formula which could get me the result automatically once col. A is updated.
Please assist.
This is not a Windows issue - I have moved the thread to an appropriate section.

could you explain what makes office C the min of July 1 2018 for a start date and the max date of June 30 2027 the wrong dates as returned?

Dear Sambo,
There are different sub-offices in office C which are rented.
So in office C, min. start date is 1st Jul 18 (col N) and last end date is 30th Jun 27 (col O)
Please assist.
your explanation is not helping. As it is now the min being returned for office C is 1st Jul 18 and the max is 30th Jun 27 so I'm at a loss about why you think the returned values are incorrect.
Right now the formula is looking at city C (col C) and using that alone it is returning the values you have in yellow and say are not correct. But what is being returned looks correct to me. If you have other criteria it needs to be entered somewhere so it can be used in the formula.
I am a bit confused.... Is your current formula giving you an incorrect answer?
It is ineffieicent, as you will never have 1,000,000 rows....

In my excel,
N7= 00-Jan-00
O7 = 00-Jan-00.
That's why I am confused.
Can you please send your updated sheet for my reference.
this is your version, I didn't change anything.
BTW, you don't need the plus sign in front of the formulas, I'm told that is a left over from long ago.

Thanks..
when I open the file, I get following error "Excel ran out of resources while attempting to calculate one or more formula. As a result there formula can not be evaluated."
That's why I am unable to see the correct result.
How do I solve this problem ???
That error happened becasue you are getting it to calculate ore than a million rows. Not sensible. Cut down the ranges.
Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.
You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.
Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...
I think the problem is as Glenn noted, you have the whole column you are accessing, try limiting your ranges, maybe something like
{=MIN(IF($C$2:$C$1000=C2,$D$2:$D$1000))} and {=MAX(IF($C$2:$C$1000=C2,$E$2:$E$1000))}
of course entered with ctrl + shift + enter to activate.
