I have a set of data that I need to do some conditional lookup's on.
For the purpose of this Question I have simplified the data set, and attached a sample file.
The data set is as follows:
What I need to find is the lowest release date where the description contains a particular lookup value.
As an example I would like the earliest release date for the iPad Air.
The first issue I noticed is whatever solution used would potentially return a an incorrect date because of the various differencial model descriptions.
To get around this I added the Generation column to my dataset.
The first formula I need is to lookup the lowest value in the Generation Column where the Description CONTAINS the Lookup Value.
