I know this is obvious but ..

I'm just not seeing it this morning!

I have 3 columns:
Col P16 to P500 contains Project Names
Col Q16 to Q500 contains Pricing Mechanism descriptions
Col X16 to X500 contains Dates

In Col AA16 - AA 500 I want to do the following:
AA16 = Last Date for Project Name in P16:P500 where Q16:Q500 "Fixed Price"


I can do it with a sumproduct array but it (obviously) sums the dates where
the project names and pricing mechs are the same.

Many thanks for your help!

Try this array* formula in AA16:

=MAX(IF((P$16:P$500=P16)*(Q$16:Q$500"Fixed Price"),X$16:X$500))

*An array formula needs to be committed using the key combination of
Ctrl-Shift-Enter (CSE) rather than the usual Enter. If you do this
correctly then Excel will wrap curly braces { } around the formula
when viewed in the formula bar - do not type these yourself. If you
need to edit the formula you will need to use CSE again.

Hope this helps.

SUMPRODUCT(MAX((A1:A7="north")*(B1:B7="high")*C1:C 7))

An alternative .. try something like this, normal ENTER, copied down:
=LOOKUP(2,1/(P$2:P$10=P2)*(Q$2:Q$10"Fixed Price"),X$2:X$10)
Adapt the ranges to suit
