Oops...Sorry ...i would have been in another world while replying earlier..

Below mentioned is one way to retrieve the last value from AF for the
matching valuue in Col A.

'array formula
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MAX(IF(Employee1!$A$5:$A$32=A5,R OW(Employee1!$A$5:$A$32))),32))

Im sure I can count the number of columns and it is 32, however I copied your
formula and it returns 0 so I change 28 to 32 and it returned the first sum
instead of the last which is the total.
6
6
4
5
21

I have tried this code but the problem is it adds up all the sums including
the total so I get double the total e.g 42 should be 21

=SUM(Employee1!AF:AF)

If you review the function..

=VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,ra nge_lookup)

The col_index_num is the column number within the table_array. Here there
are only 28 columns in the table array $A$5:$AF$32. If you are looking to
retrieve the last column of the above array it should be 28 instead of 32.

=VLOOKUP(A5,Employee1!$A$5:$AF$32,28,FALSE)

vLookup Problem never ceases
Dear someone
Im having a problem with a vlookup formula, with (last cell/row always
varying) what do I do to copy the last cell with data and paste it to another
sheet.
This formula below finds the first sum not the last.
Or Is there another way to copy last cell with data and paste to another
sheet?

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A5,Employee1!$A$5:$AF$32,32,FALSE )),"",VLOOKUP(A5,Employee1!$A$5:$AF$32,32,FALSE))
