Hi Dheeraj, Thanks for asking. Here is the explanation.
=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!$B$2:$B$25=Sheet2!$A2)*(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$25=(MIN(IF(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$25=Sheet2!A2,Sheet1! $A$2:$A$25,"")))),Sheet1!$C$2:$C$25) SumProduct formula acts as a array formula and it is very powerful function which Excel has in its kitty. Sheet1!$B$2:$B$25=Sheet2!$A2) -> this parts take care of the range which is equal to Sheet2!$A2 MIN(IF(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$25=Sheet2!A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$25,""))) -> this parts finds the minimum date in the data using IF conditions. Sheet1!$A$2:$A$25=(MIN(IF(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$25=Sheet2!A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$25,""))) -> this parts then matches minimum date in the data and identifies those particular rows. Sheet1!$C$2:$C$25 _> Based on above identifications, this parts picks up the value from the data. Let me know if you need further clarifications. -- Thanks & Regards, DILIP KUMAR PANDEY MBA-HR,B.Com(Hons),BCA Mobile: +91 9810929744 dilipan...@gmail.com dilipan...@yahoo.com New Delhi - 62, India On Thu, May 6, 2010 at 8:50 AM, <dheerajbank...@punjlloyd.com> wrote: > > Dear Dilip, > Thanks for solve the query.
