Default Can VLookup return the LAST value in a range?
One way, array-entered* in say, C1:
=INDEX($B$1:$B$10,MATCH(MAX(IF($A$1:$A$10="A",ROW( $A$1:$A$10))),IF($A$1:$A$10="A",ROW($A$1:$A$10)),0 ))

*press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to confirm the formula

Adapt the ranges to suit

If I have a list:
A 10
B 3
C 5
A 8
D 6

How can I get VLookup to return to value associated with the last occurance
of A instead of the first (i.e the value 8)?
