Default Finding Most Recent Values in Col1 -- Summing Matching Values

By "most recent" do you mean the last entry in each column?

If the TimeID column will not have any blanks, this formula will tell
you the last entry in the column:

=INDEX($A:$A,COUNTA($A:$A),1)

Can you provide an example of points 2 and 3?

This solution is sort of like a first step, which is one step closer than I
was.

There are currently 24 distinct values in my Num1 column. The formula in
that link only finds the most recent value for one of those values. Is there
someway to alter the formula to where Excel can handle multiple recent values
in one fell swoop (i.e. match up those recent values with the most recent
value in Num2-1? Maybe there's someway to count them (the most recent,
unique values in Num1 that have correlating values in Num2 which match the
most recent Num2-1) up and then multiply by the most recent value in Num2?

Thanks again for your and anyone else's help.
