I'm glad you posted that back to me. As it turns out, I have both versions
of that formula in my "library" for some reason. I know in the past I used
the version you posted; but for some reason I grabbed the other one this
time. I have now updated my "library" so that only the one version of the
formula now exists in it. Thanks.

Rick,

I've posted that a dozen time for something like

=LOOKUP(2,1/(A1:A65535="This"),B1:B65535)

But never considered it for finding the last value in the same column Nice
one. But it can be made even shorter

=LOOKUP(2,1/(A1:A65535<""),A:A)

=INDIRECT("A"&SUMPRODUCT(MAX((ROW(A1:A1000))*(A1:A 1000<""))))

A little bit shorter...

=LOOKUP(2,1/(A1:A65535<""),A1:A65535)
