excel - Incorrect answer when matching rows on two criteria -
this should simple, yet painful.
i merely want find recent scores each id. data looks this:
id date score1 score2 747 1/4/12 1 -6 747 1/28/11 1 -6 747 4/21/10 0 1 747 2/6/13 1 -6 747 3/4/09 1 -6 747 3/19/08 1 -6 747 11/8/06 1 -6 2442 5/3/12 1 -6 2442 1/13/15 1 -6 2442 5/4/11 1 -6 2442 6/2/10 1 -6 2442 5/8/09 1 -6
the result should this:
id date score1 score2 747 2/6/13 1 -6 2442 1/13/15 1 -6
i think 1 of common operations imaginable in excel.
i googled around , found out pivot table isn't right solution multiple criteria. found nice tutorial here.
the formula =index(a2:d431,match(1,(a:a=a2)*(b:b=max(b2)),0),1)
makes sense me. reason keep getting incorrect date. don't understand wrong simple formula. data here.
any advice appreciated.
if 2 id's found in g2 , g3, please try in h2 , copied down:
=max(if(a:a=g2,b:b))
entered ctrl+shift+enter
and matching scores suit (say vlookup).
