Find a date
Can someone help me out with this conundrum and prvide me with some appropriate VBA code:
in column 'C' I have a number and in column 'O' I have a date.
203126662 10/05/2013
203126662 16/05/2013
203126662 17/05/2013
203126662 17/05/2013
However, as in the example above there can be multiple numbers the same in cells 'C' but the dates are different in cells 'O'
What I need to do is put the most recent date in column 'AB' where the numbers in column 'C' are the same so it would look like this
203126662 10/05/2013 17/05/2013
203126662 16/05/2013 17/05/2013
203126662 17/05/2013 17/05/2013
203126662 17/05/2013 17/05/2013
Thanks

Hey,
Max will only work if column C stays the same. Use below array formula to capture any variations.
{=MAX(IF($C$2:$C$5=C2,$O$2 :$O$5,0))}
Change it to C1 if you don't use headers.
(to make it array formula press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER)

and then to sort it after the max is completed...
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro

Cells.Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("C:C"), _
SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("AB:AB") _
, SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("O:O") _
, SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort
.SetRange Range("A:AB")
.Header = xlGuess
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
End Sub

The formula "=MAX" returns every cell with the same date 23/5/2013
The Macro 'Macro1' removes the header in row 1
is this because I am using 2010?

On further investigation the result in the formula box shows the correct answer of 17/5/2013 but the result shown in the spreadsheet is showing as 24/5/2013.

Have attached spreadsheet to assist and show what I mean. Hope someone can resolve this for me.

Hey,
In order to make it work the ranges cannot be full columns.
I have added 2 dynamic named ranges "Ref" and "Entry_Date" this will always bring back correct number of rows.
Please see the attached file for details. Let me know if you need any explanation.

Here are some user-defined functions that will return the maximum value in a range subject to a criteria. Install them in a regular module sheet, then use them with a worksheet formula like:
=MaxIf(A:A,A2,B:B) 'This is a regular formula
MaxIfQ28138002.xlsm
=MaxIf(A:A,A2,B:B) 'This is a regular formula
Function MaxIf(rgToCheck As Range, Criteria As Variant, rgToMax As Range) As Variant
'Function tests rgToCheck for Criteria. Returns maximum of corresponding cells in rgToMax when rgToCheck cell satisfies Criteria.
'rgToCheck is range to be tested against Criteria
'Criteria may be a single value or an array of values
'rgToMax is range from which the maximum value is selected
'Function returns the maximum value if Criteria is a single value. It returns an array of maximums if Criteria is an array. _
=MaxIf(A1:A7, ">0",B1:B7) returns a single value _
=MaxIf(A1:A7, {">5", "<2"},B1:B7) returns a two column array of values _
=MaxIf(A1:A7, {">5"; "<2"},B1:B7) returns a two row array of values (semicolon instead of comma in array constant) _
=MaxIf(A1:A7, {">5", ">20"; "<2", "<1"}},B1:B7) returns a two column by two row array of values
MaxIf = MinMaxIf(rgToCheck, Criteria, rgToMax, False)
End Function

Hi msmax
I opened the file you attached but it is not doing what my original request was.
"I need to put the most recent date in column 'AB' where the numbers in column 'C' are the same"
Below is taken from the spreadsheet attached to your reply.
The result on the below should be 25/2/2013 not 18/07/2011
Reference Entry Date Date Age
148311118 18/07/2011 18/07/2011
148311118 25/02/2013 18/07/2011
The result on the below should be 10/5/2013 not 17/05/2013

Is it possible?
