Last Entry based on 2 cells

[dotxls]

Hi all,

I am looking to find a way to return the latest entry based on 2 cells meeting the criteria

C3 is the job number and I3 is the article number

on a sheet called "Details" we have the job number listed in column E and the article number in column F

The date would be in D if that helps

I would like the last entry made by returning column Z which is comments

Thanks for any help

It's difficult to build a working formula without seeing a small representative sample sheet with the desired results.

That being said, try something like this:

=LOOKUP(2,1/((Details!E$2:E$1000=C3)*(Details!F$2:F$1000=I3)),Details!Z$2:Z$1000)

If that doesn't work, consider uploading a sample sheet.

To upload an Excel workbook, follow these steps:
1) Click on "Go Advanced"
2) Click on "Manage Attachments"
3) Click on "Choose File"
4) Choose your file and click on "Open"
5) Click on "Upload"
6) Click on "Close this window"

That is just perfect many many thanks

can this return "" if nothing is in Z

Thanks again

Add in the IFERROR

=IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/((Details!E$2:E$1000=C3)*(Details!F$2:F$1000=I3)),Details!Z$2:Z$1000),"")
