Lookup the latest date in a range so it appears as my result

[Guest]

I have a table similar to this

# | Date
-----------------------------------------
1 | 09/10/2004
2 | 11/02/2004 <-- This is the
date I want
3 | 09/27/2004
4 | 10/02/2004

Hi FBB,

Assume your dates are in cells A2:A4 and that you want the most recent date
in A5, format A5 with a suitable date format and enter:

=Max(A2:A4)
