Get "the oldest date only" in EXCEL

[Peter Vidal <Peter_Vidal@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi list:

I have rows of data in a worksheet:  items, dates and quantities.  My 
items are sometimes repeated in the list because I have different days, 
let's say:

ABC123      1051215    10.000
ABC123      1060122     5.000
ABC123      1070330    17.000

I just want to keep in a clean worksheet the record with the "oldest 
date", in this case, the first line.

Is that possible in EXCEL 2000?

Note: I can't use SQL on his laptop.  Is very outdated and we need this 
fast.

Thanks in advance.
