Returning Max Date from Another Sheet with Conditions

Hello,

I am trying to gather the max date from a row on another sheet if that row has a matching cell to one on the current sheet. Below is a screenshot of the current sheet. I am trying to fill the Last Action Date cell if the Originating WO# cell matches the one on the other sheet.

Other sheet:

I would like the formula to choose the latest date (from between Sent, Date Conf, Shipped, Received) on the other sheet if the WO numbers match.

I've tried a few combinations of Index, Match, Max, and Collect but can't seem to get the right formula.

Thank you!

You will want to use a MAX/COLLECT...

=MAX(COLLECT({Other Sheet Date Column}, {Other Sheet WO Column}, [WO Column]@row)

The easiest way to do that would be to add another date column on your source sheet. In that column, you would use...

=MAX([Date Conf.]@row, Shipped@row, Received@row)

This will return the latest date of the three columns. Then in the cross sheet formula provided earlier, you would reference this new date column.

Paul,

Is there a way to get it to return the latest date in that row? For example, if the Shipped and Received columns are blank, I want it to return the Date Conf. date since that is the latest date:

Thanks @Paul Newcome, I struggled with this for 2 hours and was about to give up. This formula works perfect for me.
