Selection the two most recents dates from a column and returning the correct adject cell value
Hi
Can any body help?
A1: 08/09/2012 B1:Great Service
So I have a long list of dates in column A1, and a long list of comments in B1, what I want to do is just select the two most recents comments based on the date?
The functions I am looking at are IF and MAX and vlookup, can anybody provide help
Many Thanks
William
