Finding Latest Date

[excel2910]

Date - Quantity Sold
1/1/2011 - 100 Units
3/5/2009 - None
6/9/2008 - 250 Units
9/7/2010 - None

Is there a way to get the latest date in the product was sold?

In the example above it would be 1/1/2011

Hello & Welcome to the Board,

In the quantity sold column is it going to actually say none if none or blank?

This is what I see you asking

Thanks Jeffrey. The column is blank. changed it to =MAX(IF(ISBLANK(B2:B5),,A2:A5)) and that worked.
