How would you adapt this if you wanted to find the latest date in a
particular month from a list of dates?

Assuming your dates are in column A, and the number of the month you wish to
call up is in C1........
put this in B1 and copy down.... =IF(MONTH(A1)=$C$1,A1,"")

then in D1 put this....... =MAX(B:B)

Assume:

Dates: named range including all your dates. Can be in any order.
Month: named range (cell) containing the month number (1=Jan)

Array formula:

=MAX((MONTH(Dates)=Month)*Dates)

To enter an array formula, you must hold down <ctrl><shift> while hitting
<enter>. XL will place braces {...} around the formula.

Thanks, I will keep a note of this for future reference. Ron's method suits
my spreadsheet better in this case.
