    Find the last time a patient came

    Hey guys, so I have a spreadsheet with patients names and other information that I use for work. I have a different worksheet for every day that lists all the patients that came in that day. Is there a formula that would tell me when the last time a patient came in is?

    Well, since you didn't provide any useful information I only offer you an example.
    Formula in entered in C2 and copy down
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    ***Array formula
    ...confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER.
    You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula.
    If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer.
    v A B C
    1 Date Name Last Date
    2 1/5/2016 John
    3 3/3/2016 John 3/3/2016
    4 5/15/2016 Steve
    5 3/15/2015 Steve 5/15/2016
    6

    Or this one that doesn't require CSE entry

    What more information do you want? Not really sure what more I can give, but I'll gladly provide any info you need.

    And IDK if that's gonna work, the way I have it set up is every day has its own worksheet, so yesterdays sheet would be titled 7-6-16, not everything's in columns on the same sheet. I basically want to find out the name of the last sheet that this patients name appears on.
