Allison,

What exactly do you want? Perhaps you mean that you want the value from the left hand side of the Z column that is closest to the Z
column for each row. If so, and if the odd columns are always empty, the following version of my function would work:

Function LastValue(r As Range)
LastValue = Application.Caller.End(xlToLeft).Value
End Function

where you would put the following in Z6, for example

=LastValue(D6:X6)

If there are values in the odd columns, this will probably not work.

This VBA was great for returning the last value in a
column, but that's not what I wanted. Thanks anyway for
trying to help.

Create the following function in a standard module:

Function LastValue(r As Range)
With r
LastValue = .Parent.Cells(65536, .Column).End
(xlUp).Value
End With
End Function

In the Z column enter the following to get the last value
in column D

=LastValue(D:D)

I need to return in column Z the last non-blank value in
columns D, F, H, J, L, N, P, R, T, V, X (every other
column starting with D) [or conversely, the first non-
blank working backward from column z and hitting every
other column].

I can use nested IF statements using ISBLANK(X3), but
only
up to 7 and I need 11.

What formula (or VBA if a formula isn't possible) could
I
use to accomplish this?

Thanks for any help!
