    Formula help - not having luck with LOOKUP

    I have a range of data that I would like to lookup a text in column A and then return the maximum date in column C of that range where the text in A repeats and has different time intervals. I have tried lookup, but it will only work if the data is sorted. The data may not always be sorted. If there a better formula to achieve result?

    Please see attached.

    I was able to solve this with MAX function and array formula. If there is any other suggestions, I would love the input. Thanks!

    a Max array formula is probably the best way to get what you are looking for in this case.
