Bob, Confused here. What if I just want to use your function to just get
the value of the last cell in column C. What is the syntax for entering the
formula into the cell? TIA, James

Suggested slight mod

Function LR(r As Range) As Range
With Application.Caller.Parent
Set LR = .Cells(.Rows.Count, r.Column).End(xlUp)
End With
End Function

Hi James

I think you might want a more flexible formula such as:

Function LR(r as range) as range
Set LR=cells(application.rows.count,r.column).end(xlup )
End Function

which would give a cell ref of the last cell containing a value in the
referenced column.

But back to your original question, yes you could use it, but you'd
need to use a helper function to like Index:

=((INDEX($C:$C,LR())/L1)*B7)-F2

for example.

Happy New Year to you too :-)))

I recently tried to answer someone who wanted the worksheet formula
= ((C9/L1)*B7)-F2 automatically adjusted so that C9 referred instead to
the
last cell in column C. A nice solution was provided by someone else.
But
it left me wondering. What if I created the UDF

Function LR()
LR=cells(65536,"c").end(xlup).row
End Function

to provide the last row (or address)? Is it possible to reference this
UDF
within the spreadsheet formula? Best wishes for the new year, James
