Default How to define and select the last (bottom) number in a column?

This formula works very nicely! I also realize the "1E10" may be substituted
with however many rows are to be searched; very interesting. Thank you so
much for teaching me something new.

This will return the last numeric value in column A:

I want to select the last entry in a column, and insert this value into a
formula elsewhere. A new number is added daily to this column. There are
empty cells throughout the column. Thanks!
