I am in the learning phase of google spreadsheet. I am trying to get the date corresponding to the company name if the company name is duplicated.
Company date duplicated company date
one jan1
two jan1
one feb1 jan1 (find this using some formula)
two feb4 jan1
two mar3 feb4 (if repeated take the previous date)
three apr1
four apr5
There is no good way to do this. Especially if we don't know why we are doing this in the first place.
The closest I could get is using FILTER
:
=IFERROR(INDEX(FILTER($B$2:$B2;$A$2:$A2=$A3);COUNTA(FILTER($B$2:$B2;$A$2:$A2=$A3)));"")
Place this in the second row of your data (the 3rd row of your table if you have headers), because it will not work for the first row. Then, you drag this formula down for all your rows.
Note:
You can place this formula in C3, and drag-copy to all rows beneath it using the colored square in the bottom-right corner of the cell you have highlighted.
(In case you didn't know)
Have fun! ^_^
I have added a code to your spreadsheet, does this fix your issue?
The code: =if((countif(B:B,B2)>1)=FALSE," ",C2)
This works for G2, for G3 you need to change "B2" to "B3" and "C2" to "C3", and so on...
