Well, mine is vertical instead of horizontal, but yes, in this screencap it
would be the right most value in any row. Exactly. How did you get that
screencap up by the way? That would make things a lot easier. Thanks so
much.

So, the most recent data would be the last (rightmost) numeric value in the
row?

See if this screencap helps:

I am creating an inventory sheet for my business and I'm trying to get
Excel
to look through an inventory sheet, take the most recently entered
inventory
number, and divide it by the average daily sales to give me a "days out"
number. I was going to just use an IF(D1<"",D1,IF(C1<"",C1...etc, etc
but
the limit to embedded IF statements struck that possibility. I figure
there
has to be an easier way anyway.

Sheet 1 is the summary page where it has each product name, average daily
sales, and then the "days out" number. Sheet 2 has each product name
horizontally across the top and then the dates vertically on the left for
a
daily inventory count. I just can't figure out a way to get Excel to pull
the most current date's inventory number.

Any ideas?
