MAXIFs Alternative?

I have a google form that updates the prices of materials. On google sheets to display the most updated price of the material I have a Newest Entry Column =MAXIFS(Timestamp:range, Material cell) then in the material price columns I have an Index/Match formula to display the most recent entry for that material.

I would like to do the same thing for my mirror sheet on smartsheet, but there is no MAXIFs formula. How can I achieve the same result? Max date of all the entries that match the entry on the line I am working on.

=max(collect(return range,criteria range,criteria))

Try using VLOOKUP() and MAX(), I made a mocked up formula that should work, just replace my columns with the names you're using and x with the column number inside the range that the "Materials Column" lies.

=VLOOKUP(MAX([Newest Entry Column]:[Newest Entry Column]),[Newest Entry Column]:[Materials Column], x, false)

Hope this helps!

It allows for much more flexibility than a VLOOKUP which I have personally replaced with INDEX/MATCH in everything I do now.

Basically I have account numbers, and a handful are still 2-digit, so they appear as TDL-17, TDL-67, etc. Most of the accounts are 3-digit numbers like TDL-180. I want something that will recognize whether it is 2 or 3…
