Trying to find the max value (last payroll Date) from a list with multiple records for an employee

Bert Hoffbeck

I'm not sure how to isolate the largest/latest date from a sheet that has multiple records with various pay dates for a single individual. The sheet has about years worth of entries for the company.

For example, Employee #2 has worked 7 different weeks in the current year on multiple projects, and I want to know the most recent (i.e. max) date that they worked and pull this information into another sheet using the Index Match function, but I need a way to have a column in the source sheet that will show that max value (date).

Try something like this:

=MAX(COLLECT({Source Sheet Date Column}, {Source Sheet Employee Column}, @cell = "Employee Name"))
