formula for displaying only the last entry of a group of cells
How do you write the formula that will display only the latest entry in a
succession of entries? For example, if I have 12 months in 12 columns, and the 13th column specifies "Last Update" , if I have made entries for Jan, Feb, Mar so far, I need only the latest and last entry to appear in the 13th column. When I enter April, then it would display in the 13th column cell and so on. Please help. -- Thank you

Hi,
This returns the rightmost entry in the row A2:M2 =LOOKUP(2,1/(A2:M2""),A2:M2) -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

Assuming the entries are numbers: =LOOKUP(1,1/(A1:A120),A1:A12)
Will no 'jump' blank cells =LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),A1:A12) will return the last text entry of Sheet1 column A best wishes -- Bernard Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme "Steve" wrote in message ...
