I want formula so that i can select latest date automaticaly from database or anydate whatever i want and paste it at otherworkbook

Kindly show me some path as i am suffering daily.

Thanks

not quite sure i understand the question... but if all you want to do is find out the latest date in a range use the Max formula

In your example (if copied into Col A) then its =MAX(A1:A10)

or am I not understanding

Assuming those dates are in column A and sorted:

=LOOKUP(9.999999E+307,A:A)

You will probably need to format the result as a date.

YOu got the solution. But By using MAX formula i am getting only one date.
But i will have 10 data with same date and i need all.
Thanks
