    Find Greatest Date in a Column

    Hi all,

    Thank you for taking the time to read this thread. I am trying to find the formula to find the greatest number/date etc in a column, I'm not sure which one I should be using?

    For example I have a list of dates in Column B and I want in cell A1 to show the latest date in that column, so if the dates are

    21/12/2008
    05/02/2009

    it would show 05/02/2009 in cell A1.

    Thanks

    Jon

    Try using MAX, i.e. in A1

    =MAX(B:B)

    Format A1 in required date format

    you only need to use the max function. max(b:B) should work. Format the resulting cell as a date

    Hi,

    Thanks a lot for your help, I used the LARGE formula and seems to work fine too.
