Subtracting scores based on dates from case numbers

[Starstar1]

Hello,

I need to subtract baseline score from the most recent score for a specific id. I was filtering and subtracting for each case number but there are too many entries and some have multiple dates. Please help! What is the most efficient way to do this? Formulas? I need it in the D) Results column. (I have beginner skills :/) (Using 2010 Excel on windows.)
Please see below:

A B C D

CASE_NUM	Date	Average Functioning Score	RESULT
418557	5/10/2018	1.27
418557	11/16/2018	1.27
417870	5/9/2018	1.47
417870	11/15/2018	1.47
417841	5/4/2018	1.40
417841	11/8/2018	1.40
417131	4/20/2018	1.20
417131	10/23/2018	1.20
417026	4/26/2018	1.33
417026	10/30/2018	1.33
416700	4/18/2018	0.87
416700	10/18/2018	0.87
416692	4/9/2018	1.13
416692	10/8/2018	1.13

Hi, welcome to the board.

Can you explain please, what do you want the results to be ?
Give results for several different examples please, and also please describe how you arrived at those results.

Hello Gerald, Thanks for replying.

The Results are the difference from the "Average functioning score". So I want to take the baseline "average functioning score" from the earliest date for a "case number" and subtract it from the most recent date of that "case number".

So it should be like this:

CASE_NUM Date Average Functioning Score RESULT 265754 2/6/2018 1.60 -0.47 265754 3/21/2018 1.13 265754 10/15/2018 1.13 265064 4/2/2018 1.13 0.00 265064 4/11/2018 1.00 265064 10/1/2018 1.13 263852 4/11/2018 0.93 0.07 263852 5/1/2018 1.00 263852 5/18/2018 1.40 263852 11/5/2018 1.00 <tbody> </tbody>

<tbody>
</tbody>

For Case number 265754 the earliest date entry is 2/6/2018, and its score is 1.60. So I want to subtract that from the latest date entry: 10/15/2018 and its score is 1.13. So it should be 1.13-1.60=-0.47. (example formula:=C3-C1)I would like to see if there is an easier way as opposed to doing it manually. I hope that makes sense. Thank you.

OK thanks, I need to go away and think about that.

In the meantime, will the data ALWAYS be sorted in the sequence shown in post #3 ?
That could be helpful if it is.

Yes, I believe so. I've sorted the Case number column so duplicates are grouped together and the dates are sorted so the earliest shows up first for corresponding case numbers. Ok, don't go away too far plz :D
Thanks for your help.

Hello,


My apologies for the double post I was super stumped and also wasn't aware that posting somewhere else can be an issue. But this is the formula that worked for me:


=IF(AGGREGATE(15,6,$B$2:$B$11/($A$2:$A$11=A2),1)=B2,INDEX($C$2:$C$11,MATCH(AGGREGATE(14,6,$B$2:$B$11/($A$2:$A$11=A2),1),INDEX($B$2:$B$11/($A$2:$A$11=A2),),))-C2,"")




-Thanks
