Find Last value on Multiple conditions

[Wazza450]

I need to find the last log OUT time on a certain date for a certain person. This is dues to multiple sign-outs on same day at different times and i want to find the last time. My current formula always returns the first time which is great for the start time but not so good for the end time.

Start times and Finish times are on separate sheets

This is my Formula for the start time
=IFERROR(INDEX(tbl_in[[#All],[Timestamp]],MATCH(1,(tbl_in[/B][[#All],[DATE]]='Times Check'!$AL$1)*(tbl_in[[#All],[1st Initial/Last Name]]='Times Check'!$A3),0)),"")

This is my formula for finish time
=IFERROR(INDEX(tble_out[[#All],[Timestamp]],MATCH(1,(tble_out[[#All],[DATE]]='Times Check'!$AL$1)*(tble_out[[#All],[1st Initial/Last Name]]='Times Check'!$A3),0)),"")

Where
AL = DATE
A3 = persons name.


So, i am matching the date and the person's name at present but as above it always returns the first value where i need it to return the last value on that day for that person.

Welcome to the forum.

There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. The sample layout accurately matches that of your real data. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

Members will tailor the solutions they offer to the Office PRODUCT (Excel, NOT Windows) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date in this respect. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File | Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your product is for Mac, please also state this.

The three most recent Excel products are Excel 2019, Excel 2021 and MS365 - if you are using MS365, please give this name along with the version number in your profile (e.g. MS365 Version 2306). This is in the About Excel section further down the Account page.

Thanks.

OK. Thank you. Thats good information to know.
I am using MS365 Version 2406. I will try and do up a sample file next week and upload.
The one I have, has many sheets and moving parts with sensitive info.

[AliGW]

Thanks. Please update your forum profile as requested above - it currently says '10'.

Added file to post.

In V3 copied down:

=TAKE(SORT(FILTER(tble_out[Timestamp],(tble_out[1st Initial/Last Name]=$A3)*(tble_out[DATE]=$U$1)),,-1),1)

Thanks, AliGW - So grateful for your effort to look at this and reply. I have just implemented your formula into my main spreadsheet, and it is working a treat. I have not used the TAKE function before, so I am busily checking it out. Interesting that google search for my issue did not even come close to your answer. Ha Google does not know everything and experience counts. Thanks again.

You're welcome.

This is a useful resource for new 365 functions: https://bettersolutions.com/excel/fu...-functions.htm

Thanks, I will have a look through and bookmark that link for future reference.

Hi Ali, I get this message when i try to add reputation. I believe I did add it the other day but not 100% sure. Attachment 875367

[AliGW]

The attachment doesn't work, but I guess it's about spreading the love, which you'll need to do if you'd like to rep me again. Thanks for the thought.

Given that you only have six posts and they are all in this thread, I’m guessing you gave +rep to Ali's solution in post #7. You can't give more rep to the person until you have given rep to someone else. It's to avoid abuse of the system.

[Wazza450]

Thank you for clarifying. Apologies if i confused anyone. Yes i am only new to the group. It does look like i left AliGW a rep and hence error message occurred when i went to do it again. Exactly as you stated. Thanks again.

You're welcome. Thanks for the rep.
