Find most recent date in a row of dates

[Guest]

What formula would i need to use to find the most recent date in a row of
dates?

Try rthe formula
=MAX(A1:A13)

That depends on the row of dates.

If the dates will be greater than today, then you probablly need the MIN
date.
If the dates will be less than today, then you'll want the MAX date.
If they could be greater OR less tnan today and you want the date closest to
today, you probably need the MIN of the absolute values of the differences
between the dates and today.

Does that help?
