If you are entering values in Col A and want to refer to the last entry in
Col A then use this in your formula

=LOOKUP(2,1/(A:A<0),A:A)

In Excel versions prior to Excel 2007 you can't use an expression that
manipultes an entire column like this:

1/(A:A<0)

You'd have to use a smaller range.

Hi Mel,
Maybe something like this, where the last value in column A is added to the
value in B1 and where 9^9 is a very large number and greater than any you
would have in column A. If you knew that you would never have a number
larger than say 500, you could replace 9^9 with 500.

=LOOKUP(9^9,A:A)+B1

HTH
Regards,
Howard
