Hi guys,

I have two columns as per below:

Bernard 24/01/2010
Bernard 27/02/2010
Peter 28/01/2009
Peter 28/05/2009

How can I add a third column to return the lowest value date for column a?

My list of names runs into thousands and the dates are contract dates, I need to show each persons first date where ever their name comes up.

Any help would be lovely.
