I would like use a vlookup or equivalent to pull the latest comment for a specific ID. I can’t figure it out. I’m thinking maybe MAX but I’m not using it correctly. I think i need the vlookup because I am filling in cells in another table with the latest comment for its ID. In this example I would need it to return for ID 345 - Brown, 678 - yellow and 123 - Blue. How would I achieve this? Thanks for your help!

Also, If the latest date has multiple results (ID 999) is a possible to have it return “research “ like I would do with a IFERROR formula?

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Could be something like this:

ABCDEF
