formula or vba help on vlookup to get latest date from multiple lookup value of SO's

Try this array formula:

=MAX(IF($A$2:$A$853=F2,$B$2:$B$853))

...confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

Bonus: extracting unique distinct list from columm A:

In F3:

=INDEX($A$2:$A$853,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($F$1:F2,$A$2:$A$853),0))

Ctrl-shift-enter

Drag down.

Hi,

Would you check your example.

7021097935 is in A330 and F235. The date in G235 is 6th March 2014 and not 10-3-2014 as show in your OP. The other example is correct.

So assuming it is a typo then use on row 2
