Hi Guys,

I need to find the last value within a column range that is greater than
zero.

For example, Within A1:A8 I have values of 1,0,3,5,6,0,0,0 I therefore
need
excel to recognise the number 6 and ignore the subsequent 3 zero's.

I also need this to update with new data, so for example If A9 is zero
then
continue to recognise the last value as 6, but if A9 is 2 then recognise
the
most recent value as 2.

Sorry if the example is not clear.

Kind regards,

Ant
