i need able see last date each reference , gender (if any) associated reference , last date. need perform in function rather vba. data:

a0001   11/06/2002  f a0001   21/02/2012  f a0001   11/06/2002  m a0001   21/02/2012  m a0001   21/02/2012   a0002   20/05/2002  f a0002   20/05/2002  m a0002   20/05/2002  f a0002   20/05/2002  m a0002   11/04/2007  f a0002   11/04/2007  m 

i've been banging head against lookup, address, index, match, max functions morning , have headache, please put me out of misery.

first off if can use pivot table, drag item number rows, gender rows, , date values. click on arrow next date in values section. choose value field settings, choose max, go number format, , choose date. ask.

now, if must use formulas (this amusing item number in column a, date in column b, , gender in column c)

=max(if($a$2:$a$11=$e2,if($c$2:$c$11=f$1,$b$2:$b$11))) 

which require control shift enter.
