I have hundreds of formulas like this per sheet that finds 1st,2nd,3rd,4th last occurance, is there any faster formulas ?
Thanks

=IF(F4<>"",IFERROR(INDEX($AY$204296:$AY$525555,AGGREGATE(14,6,ROW($D$1:$D$525555)/($AW$204296:$AW$525555=F5)/($AA$204296:$AA$525555=F6),1)),""),"")

=IF(F4<>"",IFERROR(INDEX($AY$204296:$AY$525555,AGGREGATE(14,6,ROW($D$1:$D$525555)/($AW$204296:$AW$525555=F5)/($AA$204296:$AA$525555=F6),2)),""),"")

=IF(F4<>"",IFERROR(INDEX($AY$204296:$AY$525555,AGGREGATE(14,6,ROW($D$1:$D$525555)/($AW$204296:$AW$525555=F5)/($AA$204296:$AA$525555=F6),3)),""),"")

Just reconfiguring post #8 to fit your data seems to work for me:
Excel Formula:
=CHOOSECOLS(SORT(FILTER(HSTACK(B4:B11,SEQUENCE(COUNTA(B4:B11))),F1&F2=C4:C11&D4:D11),2,-1),1)

Or using the multiply rather than concatenate method:
Excel Formula:
=CHOOSECOLS(SORT(FILTER(HSTACK(B4:B11,SEQUENCE(COUNTA(B4:B11))),(C4:C11=F1)*(D4:D11=F2)),2,-1),1)
strange when i use that formula i get #name?

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
I think ChooseCols might be one of the later functions, if you type =ChooseCols does Excel recognise it ?
If it does how about =HStack ?
You are definitely using MS 365 right ?

If you have a personal subscription you might want to update your software.
If you are in an organisation, that is a long way behind for even the biannual cycle that a lot of companies seem to be on and you might want to ask the question.
I think HStack and ChooseCols have been around since Mar 2022 and the release note list on the below only goes back to vrs 2206 Jul 2022

The ChooseCols can be replaced with the Index function, not sure how to get around the HStack function.

How about
Excel Formula:
=LET(f,FILTER($AY$204296:$AY$525555,($AW$204296:$AW$525555=F5)*($AA$204296:$AA$525555=F6)),INDEX(f,SEQUENCE(4,,ROWS(f),-1)))
