Can't use a PT unfortunately.
Thinking aloud- If I used a MAX/MIN based formula to create two new columns with dates I want (would I use an HLOOKUP or similar to do this?) and then had a third column with the number of days between the two, sort largest to smallest and then de dupe based on unique combined job+contractor ID would that theoretically work?
-
anyone got an idea on how I can automate the following:
Each row is a contractor it records their start and end date for the contract and has a unique ID for - Contractor, Job, and Placement.
There may be multiple rows for each contractor, some of these multiples will be for the same job as they have had their contracts extended. Some of the multiples will be because they have worked on more than one different jobs.
I need to de dupe these records so that I have one row per contractor per job where if the contract has been extended it takes the earliest date from the start date and the latest date from the end date.
Any ideas or is the guy in finance stuck with doing a boring manual review of these records each week?

I always prefer (and use) index/match instead of vlookup- no need to sort columns and the calculation process is suposed to be less resource intensive.
@aggi cheers- I can feel some sort of hybrid of the above coming together.
As always this forum rocks! (though Chandoo.org is pretty good for vba help).
