many thanks. the macro works but
it has selected a column at random where it finds the last positive value
evry time. how do i specify the column where i want the avtivity to happen?

Pardon my ignorance.

Sub gotolastpostitivevalue()
mc = "f"
For i = Cells(Rows.Count, mc).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
If Cells(i, mc) 0 Then
Cells(i, mc).Select
Exit Sub
End If
Next i
End Sub

the data in the computed column on sales completed is something like this.
the data is dynamic and changes as each transaction is added to the
workshet.
i need a macro which will, starting from anywhere on the worksheet take
the
cursor to the cell with the last positive value i.e. 800,000
