Here is a quick tip that I learned while conducting training classes in Australia.
If you have several dates in a range and you want to find out what the latest date is, just use MAX, like:
=MAX(A1:A10) would give you the latest date.
A Question…,
Assuming you have some dates (not necessarily sorted) in column A, which formula finds the last date (not latest)?
Bonus question: What if there are some gaps (cells with no value)? How would you find the last date?
Go ahead and post your answers in comments. Or share your favorite formula to find latest date in a range.
PS: My Australian trip is over now. On a train from Melbourne to Sydney now and will be leaving to Vizag via Bangkok (and Hyderabad) early tomorrow morning. I am very happy how the whole thing went. More on this later next week.

You can also plot 2 or more Y axes in Excel using EZplot or Multy_Y from Office Expander.com
There is a demo version to try.
