Default Find the last cell in a column which contains "-"

Try...

=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,FIND("-",A2:A100),ROW(A2:A100))

Thanks teethless and Domenic. That's great - but I don't want the value - I
want the row number. How could I get that ?

I have a column of values that contain text like XX-YY, ZZZ-DD4, etc. I
want
to find the last row of the column that has a "-". Is there a function I
can
use to find this (maybe SUMPRODUCT ?). Thanks for any help with this.
