Hi,

 

That could be done with Power Query (add-in for 2010, 2013, built-in in 2016 as Get&Transform)

- first query loads all receipts

-duplicate it in second query, sort by customer and date and remove duplicates keeping only newest receipts for each customer

- left anti join first query with second one, land the result into any place in workbook

 

Please see attached

Nice approach
