Find date formula

Can anyone suggest a formula to return the earliest and latest date within a child column?

for the earliest date range you can use = MIN ([xx] 1 : [xxx] 19.
Where the XX is your starting position and XXX is you ending position, of course the row numbers will vary to what you need
I believe using the word LARGE instead of MIN will give the most recent date.
Hope this helps.

That works for a range - thanks!
Any idea how to constrain the search just to a cell's children?

I'm glad the range worked. I'm not sure about a cell's children. Would it be possible to show me an example that's similar or if not too private part of the sheet you are working in?

=MIN(CHILDREN([Date Column Name]@row))
=MAX(CHILDREN([Date Column Name]@row))
If you are putting the formula in the same column as the children you are referencing, then you wouldn't even have to specify a cell.
=MIN(CHILDREN())
=MAX(CHILDREN())

That worked, thanks!

How to return the latest Children date only if all the Children are populated with dates? I tried this, but did not work.
=IF(CHILDREN() <> "", MAX(CHILDREN(), ""))
