Try this (array entered):

=MIN(IF((Names=A3)*(Accident_dates>N$2)*(Accident_dates<N$2),Accident_dates))

Are you sure you don't want to use: >= and <= ?

I am trying to find the earliest date that falls within date range that

matches an employees name. .    M$2 is today's date and N$2 contains a
date 3 years earlier.  "names" is the range of employees and
"accident_dates" contains the dates

When I use the array formula I created below, I get a blank cell even
though I know a corresponding value exists.

{=MIN(IF(Names=A3,Accident_dates))*((Accident_dates>N$2)*(Accident_dates<M$­2))}

Thanks for any help you can provide
