    Listing all dates that a specific entry was made

    Hi, I have been looking for awhile now, but cant find anything that i can make work.

    In the attached file, I am trying to list all the dates that a specific entry was made. The data is A1:I20 and I hand-made my results in D27:U28.

    In Column I the entries are 1,2, or 3(with 3 indicating both 1 and 2)

    Sorry if this an inefficient layout. I am trying to collect data from 2 different sources, and make it useful to me.

    That works great, Any ideas on how to get the dates to generate themselves, from the data?

    Re: Listing all dates that a specific entry was made

    Oops, just noticed that all the dates in my example were different, in the real workbook, there will be multiple occurences of each date, for many different die#s. Isn't the formula you gave me just checking the date to the entry in I?

    Re: Listing all dates that a specific entry was made

    Correct, still trying to find a way.

    Is it also only for D:D = 121 or 125?

    Re: Listing all dates that a specific entry was made

    Well, I was just trying to make an example.

    My actual sheet has 2000-4000 rows of entries in it. But not all of them would have 121 or 125 in column D.

    Rows 27-28 would be on a separate sheet, and copied down 350 times to account for all the different Die #s with approx.

    Re: Listing all dates that a specific entry was made

    Would something based on this workbook suit your needs?
    1/. Create a dynamic named range for your die numbers
    Name:=
    "Unique_Dies"
    Refers To:=

    2/. Insert a column at the start of your sheet
    Then in A2

    Drag/Fill Down to suit

    3/. In Column I enter a series of numbers 1 to suit (step 1) in this example = 20

    4/. Use the name "Unique_Dies" as Data Validation in J2

    5/. In K2 this array formula

    Confirm with Ctrl + Shift + Enter not just Enter
    Drag Down to suit

    6/. In L2 this array formula

    Confirm with Ctrl + Shift + Enter not just Enter
    Drag Across to M2 then Down to suit
    Select from the drop-down in J2

    Note there is a more efficient way than these arrays for larger data tables, I can't remember it off-hand, but will find it if this method works for you

    Re: Listing all dates that a specific entry was made

    I see how I could make that work, but it is was making a list of ALL entries with that Die# in Column D, not just the entries with "121" or "125" in Column E so I changed A1 to:

    =IF(D2="","",COUNTIFS($D$2:$D2,$D2,$E$2:$E2,"121")+COUNTIFS($D$2:$D2,$D2,$E$2:$E2,"125"))

    But for some reason, when I use the dropdown for Column E, and select only "121" and "125", the entry for 8/17/11 disappears?

    Is there another way to make it work, when I put it on a separate sheet(as I will have a sheet for each month). other than making 15 columns for each month, and making each set of columns search through the sheet for that month.

    I attached a sample of how i would set it up
