hello how can i write a formula to check and identify if say i have a list of 100 employees who have taken training courses..

say 20 of the 100 employees have taken the same course but on different dates...i need to identify the most current course?

what would my formula be?
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
We can't answer that without knowing how employees who have taken the course are identified. It sounds like a Countifwill work for you (or a COUNTIFS/SUMPRODUCT if you want to specify a date range). It would look something like this:

my list was extracted from access..
but on the list io have over 5000 entries of the same person taking the same course but on different dates.. i think i have worked it out..
