Assuming the entries are numbers: =LOOKUP(1,1/(A1:A12<0),A1:A12)
Will no 'jump' blank cells
=LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),A1:A12) will return the last text entry of Sheet1
column A
best wishes

How do you write the formula that will display only the latest entry in a
succession of entries? For example, if I have 12 months in 12 columns, and
the 13th column specifies "Last Update" , if I have made entries for Jan,
Feb, Mar so far, I need only the latest and last entry to appear in the
13th
column. When I enter April, then it would display in the 13th column cell
and
so on.
Please help.
