alternately, you could sort your data by invoice#,date (descending) then do a vlookup. It would pick the first date, which would be the most recent.
I like Dave's suggestion... It's interesting because it takes advantage of the fact that using (Othersheet!A2:A100=A2) is a logical test that returns 1=true, 0=false then, since excel stores dates as numbers (today, 9/15/2010 is 40436 days since 1/1/1900) "false" * 40436 = 0 * 40436 = 0 "true" * 40436 = 1 * 40436 = 40436, when formatted as a date = "9/15/2010" I like it...
