George,

Provided that you do not mean WHOLE column when you say column of numbers
try:

=LOOKUP(2,1/ISNUMBER(L1:L1000),L1:L1000)

How can I find the last nonblank value in a column of numbers?

TIA

[1] The SumProduct function should implicitly coerce the truth values to
their Excel numeric equivalents.
[2] The lookup functions should have an optional argument for the return
value, defaulting to #N/A in its absence.
