How to find the maximum date within date range
Requirement:
The user has a range of:
42977.00
42976.00
42977.01
42976.01
42979.00
42976.02
42977.09
42977 represents 8/29/17
42977.07 is a little later in the day.
The user needs to find the highest instance of 42977, before it reaches 42978
Solution:
=MAX(IF(A1:A10<X1+1,A1:A10))
Where A1:A10 is the range of dates, and X1 holds the 8/29/17 date to check for.
* Array Formulas (sometimes referred to as "CSE" formulas) have to be confirmed by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter rather than just pressing Enter
