As Total is larger than other values in the range you could use:

=MAX(Employee1!AF5:AF32)

I opened a new Excel workbook testing the code but I get N/A
As another solution to my problem is to do something Stupid like this....
in
cell D5 on sheet where copy of total will be =SUM(Employee1!AF:AF), then
in
Cell C5 =Sum D5/2. although its double the trouble I am getting a true
result, otherwise, I don't know what else to do. It seems strange to me as
the vLookup use to work but I noticed that every few days when I cleared
the
data on employee sheet this caused the vlookup to become a #REF# Anyhow, I
think I'll just let it go!
Thankyou all very much for all your help I do appreciate it.

OK. Let us try the below.

With a table as below try the below formula which retrives the last
matching
value for 'test'. You can adjust this to suit for your requirement..

ColA ColB
test 1
apple 32
test 2
apple 45
apple 52
boy 23
test 3

=LOOKUP(2,1/(A1:A10="test"),B1:B10)

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))
