    Exclamation Finding Latest Date

    Hi Everyone,

    I have an issue at work.

    I desire to obtain the output similar to what I entered manually in the MAX column (Colored Green) using a formula.

    Formula should

    1. Look for a Name (Column A) and Week Start Date (Column J).
    2. It should then mark "Latest", when the value in Entry Time (Column I) is the most recent one for a given Name and Week Start Date.
    3. Mark "Not Latest", when the value in the Entry Time is not the most recent one.

    Please help me! I am struggling with this one.

    Thanks a lot.

    Re: Finding Latest Date

    Not completely sure that your sample data is correct, but try this:

    =IF(MAX(IF(A:A=[@Name],IF(J:J=[@[Week Start Date]],H:H)))=[@[Entry Date]],"Latest","Not Latest")

    May need entering with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.

    Re: Finding Latest Date

    I used this array* formula in cell O2 in order to compare directly with your manual results:

    =IF(MAX(IF(($A$2:$A$41=A2)*($J$2:$J$41=J2),$I$2:$I$41))=I2,"Latest","Not Latest")

    You may have to change the commas ( , ) to semicolons ( ; ) in the formula, depending on your regional settings.

    * NOTE that an array formula needs to be confirmed using the key combination of Ctrl-Shift-Enter (CSE) instead of the usual Enter.

    Then you can copy this down as required. Note that there are a few which don't agree with your manual results.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    Or (no array entry required):

    =IF(AGGREGATE(14,6,[Entry Time]/([Name]=[@Name])*([Week Start Date]=[@[Week Start Date]]),1)=[@[Entry Time]],"Latest","Not Latest")

    Re: Finding Latest Date

    Hi @AliGW

    Thanks a lot for replying back. Sorry, I am using Excel 2013. As you suggested, I have updated that in my bio.

    Unfortunately, I am not obtaining the desired result.

    I would like to use Entry Time column ( this data is obtained using NOW() function in my workbook) to find the latest entry. By doing so, I can avoid duplicate entries made in the same date.

    Could you please take a look?

    Thanks.
