    How to find the latest date in a range of dates, that is before todays date

    I have a range of dates reaching from the past to the future, call it milestones of a project.

    I will like to write a formula to extract the latest date of the range of dates that is before todays date.

    Example
    1-jan-12, 5-jan-12, 15-feb-12, 1-march-12, 25-march-12, 2-April-12, 15-April-12, 30-April-12, 15-may-12
    Today: 4-April-12

    The date I would like to get through the formula is 2-April-12

    Thanks!

    Try the LOOKUP() function:

    =LOOKUP(TODAY()-1,your date range)
