You are right. It works fine even if you just press enter.
Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks Gary, this works very well! But I'm not sure about the keystrokes
you've indicated... they did not appear to be necessary (and nothing
different happened when I tried the combination), and it worked fine with
just ENTER.

Will return the last value entered in column A.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER not only ENTER.

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!
