365 Excel version FILTER(SORT function required?

[ollyhughes1982]

Hi,

I posted this query a few days ago, regarding my parkrun record spreadsheet. I think I might have used a poor title, as haven't been able to find any answers thus far. Is it possible to delete the old post?

There is a new parkrun challenge that has been introduced this week, where you have to run the first parkrun that was ever to take place in each of the 23 parkrun countries. I have identified these first events from records and created a column that identifies these with a ‘1’ in column AK of the ‘Miscellaneous Data - P & C p’ reference worksheet.

There is a similar, but slightly more simple, existing challenge to this, where I list the first event that I completed in each of the various countries - so I have used an amended version of that challenge’s worksheet (‘All Completed Runs - Pioneer’) as the template for this new challenge. Therefore, what this new challenge needs to do differently is, to only show my first event completed in each country where there is a ‘1’ in the AK column of the ‘Miscellaneous Data - P & C p’ reference worksheet. i.e. The event was the first to ever be staged in that country and is also the first one that I completed in that country.

Please note: In some countries there were multiple events that were staged on the same date for the very first time in that country - For simplicity, I only want to list the first one I complete - if I do happen to have completed more than one of these multiple first events.

So, in essence I want to do the same as what the template worksheet doing currently, but add in the requirement for a ‘1’ in the AK column of the ‘Miscellaneous Data - P & C p’ reference worksheet.

In the template worksheet, it currently shows my first event in the UK as Newport - which is correct. However, the first event to ever take place in the UK was Bushy, which I do happen to have completed. So, the record should show Bushy, rather than Newport. If I hadn’t have happened to have completed Bushy, then the record should be empty.

Again, sorry for the long posts, but want to try and explain it properly. Guessing this might be some sort of complex FILTER(SORT function.

The link to the worksheet is here: parkrun Pioneer Challenge.xlsx

Apologies, but the file can take up to a minute to open, due to the many links between worksheets etc.

Thanks in advance!

Olly.
