Hi guys,

I'm trying to get the last entry of data from my database per person.

The database looks a little like this:
PersonDate of Entry
A1/1/2014
B1/1/2014
A2/2/2014
B3/3/2014

<tbody>
</tbody>

On a different sheet I want column 2 to look like this:
A2/2/2014
B3/3/2014

<tbody>
</tbody>

Do I use a VLOOKUP, INDEX with SUMPRODUCT inside or something else completely?
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
maybe something like,

Excel 2012
AB
1PersonDate of Entry
2A1/1/2014
3b1/1/2014
4a2/2/2014
5B3/3/2014

7
8a2/2/2014
9b3/3/2014
