Hi,

 

I need some help, I need to extract the most updated date.

 

For example:

ITMEDATE

A

14/03/2001
A17/05/2005
A19/11/2006
B02/10/2003
B12/12/2006
B06/07/2009
B11/12/2011
C07/11/2000
C02/05/2010

 

Expected Result to be

 

ITEMDATE
A19/11/2006
B11/12/2011
C02/05/2010

 

Note: the dates can be in random order

 

Regards,

DAN

Hey @DanielCarro,

Here is one way to do this:

First I change your text dates to a date data type using the datetime tool. Then I used a sumerize tool to get the max date for each item.

 

Any questions or issues please ask :)
HTH!
