Hi
I needed some help with an Excel task - I have a column of numerous IDs, each ID has duplicates due to different dates and I want to keep the two latest dates for each ID (see attachment) - how do I achieve this ?
Look forward to responses

It would help if you attached a sample Excel workbook - see the yellow banner at the top of the screen for details of how to do this.

Hi Glen
Thanks for this - is there a way to keep the two latest dates in the rows as opposed to having both dates next to each other in another columns.
Alternatively, is there a way to delete id duplicates but leave the two latest dates (which should preserve the format of how the dates remain in the rows) ?
I'm sure it is... but can you SHOW me exactly the layout you want (Excel sheet) ??
A bit of a guess...
Spot on - thank you !
You're welcome.
It would be very nice if you were to just click the Add Reputation button at the foot of any of the posts of members who helped you reach a solution.
Finally, if that takes care of your original question, please select "Thread Tools" from the menu link (just above the first post in the thread) and mark this thread as SOLVED.
