    Find a time value in one column based on names in another

    Hi -

    I have a list of names. (40 Different names that may occur 30 - 40 times a
    piece in column B). In Column C I have a list of times that each person made
    an entry. Is there a formula that will give me the earliest time that
    appears in column C for each person on the list in column B? I already have
    a list of all of the unique names that will appear in column B that I can use
    as a reference.

    Example:

    col A col B col C
    smith 6:00am
    jones 5:03pm
    smith 7:05am
    jones 4:02pm
    adams 2:05pm
    adams 2:33pm

    RESULT I WANT

    adams 2:05pm
    jones 4:02pm
    smith 6:00am

    =MIN(IF(B2:B200="smith",C2:C200))

    as an array formula, so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter
