Thanks Bob. That goes in my HowTo file. Otto

Otto's formula will work for numbers in column A, where there are no
embedded blank cells. To cater for blanks, numbers or text, try

=LOOKUP(2,1/(1-ISBLANK(A1:A65535)),A1:A65535)

The formula:
=OFFSET(A1,COUNT(A2:A1000),0)

in any cell will result in the value of the last occupied cell in Column
A.

Note that cell A2 must be occupied. HTH Otto

I want to take the LAST cell of column A (which will be changing with
entries) and paste it into a fixed cell in column B.

Thanks
