Many thanks, it has worked. What with we all do without Excel and its gurus.

What did not work?

=LOOKUP(10^10,R:R) should do the trick.

If you anticipate a number greater than 10 billion in the range use 99^99
just to be safe.

Hi again,

I tried the formula you supplied but it didn't seem to work so I will
explain in a little more detail:

In a worksheet named '1' I have this heading in R11:

cum total cost / 100km




$3,030.97
$1,587.52
=IF(AND(Q18="",L18=""),"",Q18/(L18/100))


Then the above formula from R12:R3000.
Of course some cells don't display a $ value because of blank cells
elsewhere (IF formula)

In my 'MENU' worsheet, I need a formula that will pck up that last (or
bottom) cell in R11:R3000 which is displayed as a $ value.

Hope this helps.

Keith
