    Need to find the First and Last Date item had activity

    I would create a formula to return the first activity date in one column and last activity date in the next column for all items in my spreadsheet. Attached is a screen shot of how the spreadsheet currently looks. The numbers in column A are unique and the dates in columns C-UJ are dates ranging from 01/02/15 - 01/31/17.
    Thanks.

    Attach a sample 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 then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.

    Re: Need to find the First and Last Date item had activity

    Received the message about the error. A #Value error suggests that the formula was entered by pressing the Enter key alone instead of simultaneously pressing Ctrl, Shift and Enter as is necessary to activate these array entered formulas.
