Default Select the last value from a list

This is nicer and more secure than my solution, and it cleared an error in XL
Help, at least in the Hungarian version (so it can be a translation error).
Hugarian Help states that if LOOKUP doesn't find the value it returns the
greatest (legnagyobb) value in the lookup array. Your formula cleared that it
returns the LAST (utolsó) of the array!

Thanks,
Stefi

Try this:

=LOOKUP(99^99,A:A)

Column A contains a list of numbers. This list will vary in length. Cell

C1
needs a formula to display the last (but not necessary largest/smallest)
figure in this list.

Any help would be appreciated
