    Formula to find second latest date.

    Hi,

    I have 3 dates in column A.

    A1= 2/12/2015
    A2=2/13/2015
    A3=2/16/2015

    I have used Small & Large formula to get the earliest and latest Dates in another sheet.

    But i am unable to get the date which is in cell A2.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks,
    Netaji

    Re: Formula to find second latest date.

    Hello Netaji
    what do you mean for second latest date?
    es. today is 2/16/2015 serial number 42051
    than I have a data set
    42050
    42047
    42048
    42004
    41025
    so the the second latest day means the second large day
    and in thi exaple the second largest is 42047
    maybe you need to somenthings else?
    let me know!

    Agree this should work. Perhaps change ; to ,...
    =large(a1:a3,2)


    If you still have a problem, upload a small (clean) sample workbook (not a pic) of what you are working with, and what your expected outcome would look like.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Thanks for reply FDI.

    Yes i noticed that typo.
    The problem is i have formatted the values to date.
    You can just copy and paste the values i have given in the thread.
    It is not working.

    Thanks,

    Re: Formula to find second latest date.

    Hello Ntaji,

    The formula: =Large(a1:a3,2) as provided by FDibbins, works for me. Are you sure about your formatting, and that you do not have any leading or trailing spaces, which may occur if you have a cell formatted as "Text".

    Alternatively, as FDibbins suggested,

    Attach a sample of your 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.

    Re: Formula to find second latest date.

    Yes I got it.

    There was a space.

    Thanks for all your support.

    I am relieved now.

    Thanks again to all those who spent time on the solution.
