How to select largest value for each date?

[sunil68]

I have my data arranged in 4 columns as shown below (sample data). I need the Excel to find the largest value for each date and write them somewhere along with those dates. For example, the Excel should write in the 5th column (E) below two dates and values based on the sample data I listed below -

4/1/2007 - 0.044
4/2/2007 - 0.055

I have about 17-18 values for each date between 4/1/2007 and 10/31/2007.

Thanks.

Use a Pivot Table.... see attached....

use this array formula confirmed with ctrl+shift+enter
=MAX(($A$1:$A$5000=F1)*($D$1:$D$5000))
so it then looks like this
{=MAX(($A$1:$A$5000=F1)*($D$1:$D$5000))}
where column f is your list of single dates
