Hello,

[Sheet 1] as two columns. Column A [ID] and Column TIME
[Sheet 2] as two columns. Column A [ID] and Column TIME

[Sheet 2] holds all historical date for every ID and every occurrence in time that the ID performed a specific action.

1. What I am trying to create in [Sheet 1].[Column C] is to enter a formula to ask what is the closest date/time in Sheet 2 without being greater than date/time in Sheet 1 for each ID / TIME combination found on Sheet 1.

2. What I am trying to create in [Sheet 1].[Column D] is to enter a formula to ask what is the closest date/time in Sheet 2 with is greater than date/time in Sheet 1 for each ID / TIME combination found on Sheet 1.


[Sheet 1]

Closest Prior to Column B

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Perhaps these:

Col C
=MAXIFS(Sheet2!$B$2:$B$9,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$9,A2,Sheet2!$B$2:$B$9,"<"&B2)

Col D
=MINIFS(Sheet2!$B$2:$B$9,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$9,A2,Sheet2!$B$2:$B$9,">"&B2)

If you have Excel 2016. May need some alteration for older versions.

For older versions:

Col C
=MAX(IF(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$9=A2,IF(Sheet2!$B$2:$B$9<B2,Sheet2!$B$2:$B$9)))<B2,Sheet2!$B$2:$b$9)))

Col D
=MIN(IF(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$9=A2,IF(Sheet2!$B$2:$B$9>B2,Sheet2!$B$2:$B$9)))

These are entered as array formulas with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER.</B2,Sheet2!$B$2:$b$9)))
