Find the unique dates from a sheet AND display them from oldest date

Frank S.

From a previous post I can find all of the unique dates from a sheet within the last 45 days. My problem is that the dates are not listed from oldest to newest, so when I add this information to a dashboard it does not display correctly.

Here is the formula I'm using: =IFERROR(INDEX(DISTINCT(COLLECT({Column 1}, {Column 1}, AND(ISDATE(@cell), @cell >= TODAY(-45)))), [Row #]@row), "")

This is the result:

2 05/10/21 1

1 05/06/21 1

3 05/12/21 1

5 06/09/21 2

4 06/01/21 1

6 06/04/21 1

7 06/11/21 1

What can I do so the dates are from oldest to newest?

Hi Frank,

Does it correct if you sort the sheet by the date oldest to newest? It should join in order.

I think I found the issue, there was a filter on the column and you can not sort a column with a filter. Once I removed the filter it seems to be working correctly.
