Default Referring to a variable cell on another sheet

Ah, wait - it occurs to me that 65,535 is the largest number that can be
represented in unsigned 16-bit binary...

Cool, it works - got a minute to explain HOW in the world it works?

I understand the basic format of LOOKUP() - what are the 65535s and the <""
for?

Sorry...this would work even if you press just ENTER. Sorry for the
confusion.

...
In a cell on Sheet A, I want to display the value of a cell on Sheet B. I
know the column that it is in (R), but not the row - the row should be
equal
the last row in that column which has a nonblank value.

In other words, if the first six rows of column R on Sheet B have values,
then I want to display the value of 'Sheet B'!R6.

I think I can do this using INDIRECT(something) and COUNTA('Sheet B'!R:R),
but I can't seem to fit them together in the correct manner.

Thanks!
