Latest Purchase Price

[Curtis]

In the source sheet
COL AB = recent cost
COL W = latest purchase date (format mm/dd/yyyy)
COL A = Part number

I need to identify the latest cost of each part number based on the criteria
above. The price can change in the month so I need the most recent price as
determined in Column W

thanks

2. You give me the newsgroup and the subject line
3. You send a clear explanation of what you want

The following array formula (commit with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) assumes that you have
the part number you wish to look up in AC2:

=INDEX(AB:AB,MAX(IF((A2:A100=AC2)*
(W2:W100=MAX(IF(A2:A100=AC2,W2:W100,""))),
ROW(A2:A100),"")))

=IF($A10="","",INDEX(colD,MAX(IF((colG=$A10)*(colB=K$8),ROW(colI)-5))))

defined names for the block starting at row 6
