I know I've seen this discussed here, but I haven't been able to find it.

I have a long column of text entries that will continue to grow
indefinitely. I simply want to use the value of the bottom entry in a cell
on another worksheet. There will be many repeats, entries are in no
particular order, and there will always be an entry.

For instance, with the following in column A on Sheet 1, I'd like "Larry" to
appear in cell A1 on Sheet 2.

John
Sam
Joe
Larry
