Hello,
I have this kind of data (attached).
I need to find earliest date from column B by Name and Surname (in Sheet1) and put it in another list with Names and Surnames (Sheet2).
There is a lot of data, so i thought about vlookup, but any other way to do it quickly will be very helpful!
Thank you!
Hi
Try this formula in Sheet2!B2 and drag down (format as text)
Formula:

In B2, copied down:
=MIN(IF(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$8=Sheet2!A2,Sheet1!$B$2:$B$8))
confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer.
Format the cells in column B as dates.

Thank you very much! Both functions worked, only that AliGW's returned earliest date (oldest) and Jose Augusto's latest. Thank you both!
You asked for the earliest, didn't you? Glad to have helped!
